Local, to Kentucky, Races and Events (In the future will also include races in nearby states)
(If you have a race in the area, including surrounding states, let me know and I will post about it)
If you are going to be in the Nancy Kentucky area July 21st, 2018 you might consider doing the Mud Mayhem & Fun Lake Cumberland 5K Obstacle Challenge. The race proceeds go to help the local Phoenix Racing
Want an Ultra that is easy to plan for with an aid station every 3.25 miles then check out the Backyard Classic 8 Hour Endurance Run in Elizabethtown KY August 18, 2018. Run Solo or on a 2-Person team.
Want to do a fun event and help the Wayne County Cross Country team and the Wayne County FCA at the same time then the 36th Annual Lake Cumberland 5Miler/5K and 1 Mile Fun Run is for you - September 1st, 2018
Also, check out the inaugural Falls 100 - also has a Half-Marathon, Marathon and 50 miler as well as the 100.
Want to run a great race then put the 2019 Yamacraw 50k (also a 20K and 10K ) on your schedule. The race is April 6, 2019 and registration opens October 1st, 2018. Either set your own reminder or have Ultrasignup send you one as I would not be surprised if this race does not sell out real fast as word is getting out about it.
