Beautiful, well marked course - one of the best I've ever ran! It was absolutely gorgeous. Very technical and challenging at times, but also very runnable. Well organized and executed. I had a blast and will definitely have this one on the radar in years to come!

By far the prettiest race I’ve ever run! It’s very well organized and every staff member or volunteer I interacted with was super helpful. Thanks for a great experience!

Ran my first Ultra at the 2016 event. Doubt I could have picked a better event to start my Ultra career with. I will be back next year for the beautiful course, great volunteers and extremely well organized event. Thanks!

Thanks for an absolutely, positively BEAUTIFUL first 50k!! EVERYONE was friendly and helpful, fantastic RD, volunteers, the raft crossing crew, the bus drivers, and park service staff. So glad I chose this race for my first ultra!!

This race means SO MUCH to me. I fell in love with trail running after running this race about 6 years ago and was so glad to be back last year! Thank you for the best finish line ever!! To those that are considering running this race, just go sign up.

Top notch race all around. The point to point 50K is majorly scenic (more than expected) The course is not too technical or mountainous, but it's plenty tough enough. Brian and the gang do a bang-up job. Can't recommend enough. Do it!

50K / 20K / 10K endurance races taking you through the beautiful scenic trails of Big South Fork NP & Daniel Boone NF in McCreary County Kentucky.

Registration TBD. We traditionally have opened registration today however we are still waiting on communication from the park service about our proposed race date as well as some uncertainty at the Blue Heron Mining Community. Due to these mitigating factors we are postponing registration until we have approval from the park service on a date and proposed plan. Thank you for your patience!
