Organiser's Description
The 2024 Crooked Creek Trail Weekend will be on Saturday, December 7th, and Sunday, December 8th. The dates are a little later than normal due to the Thanksgiving Weekend being so late.
The race kicks off and concludes at the start-finish line, nestled near the 70-acre John Barr Lake. The lake provides a serene backdrop to the runner's village, creating a perfect setting for both the starting adrenaline rush and the triumphant finish line celebrations. This legendary trail, typically off-limits to the public, becomes accessible exclusively during the Crooked Creek event.
Choose your challenge from options including the daunting 100 miles (with a 32-hour cutoff), the demanding 50 miles (with a 16-hour cutoff), or opt for the marathon and half marathon distances. For those seeking a taste of the Crooked Creek experience, we also present a special 5K Trail Challenge—a fun and challenging run that offers a sneak peek into the larger race.
The Start/Finish line provides a spacious area for runners to set up their support tents, and participants in the 100-mile and 50-mile challenges can look forward to a unique "Pit Road" experience. This exclusive access point allows your support team to connect with you at the start-finish line and again at the three-mile mark of each loop. To add to the runner's comfort, heated shower houses will be available, ensuring a refreshing post-race experience after conquering the demanding "Crooked Creek Crusher" course.
Conveniently located just 15 minutes from the Louisville International Airport and off Interstate 65 in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, the Crooked Creek Ultra offers an excellent option for runners looking to check a Kentucky event off their list. With multiple lodging options within a 10-minute radius and the availability of (unheated) cabins at Camp Crooked Creek, participants can plan a comfortable stay. For those seeking a more rustic experience, primitive camping options are also available, complete with access to heated bathrooms and the shower house.
As a token of our appreciation for their service, Active Duty Military personnel are eligible for a 15% discount on registration. Simply reach out to us at [email protected] for the exclusive code.
Join us for an unforgettable race experience, where challenging trails, scenic views, and the sweet aroma of Bourbon Country converge at the Crooked Creek Ultra. Get ready to embrace the challenge, and become part of this legendary event!
