Organiser's description

A truly unique running experience at the historic Blackacre Conservancy. The original Tyler Homestead is still in tact and its shaded beauty will welcome you to a wilderness retreat that is nearly a secret. Located off of Tucker Station Road (near Taylorsville Rd and Gene Snyder), the farm boasts over 300 acres of pristine fields and forest. Spot animals and wildlife as you run through trees, fields and the Blackacre barn.

Runners have a choice of their preferred distance of 4 Miles or 8 Miles. UPDATE: runners will have until 7:30 to cross the start line.

All participants will receive a unique medal and a good time. Runners may also receive a reusable race cup, rally towel, and more if they choose. If, participants elect "No Swag", $5 will be donated to the Blackacre Conservancy.

NEW THIS YEAR! Special pricing for 14 and under for the 4 mile distance. $20 per runner 14 and under. Bring the whole family and enjoy a run through one of the prettiest jewels of Louisville.
