About The Race
The
Cantuckee Y'all 50K is a showcase of the crown jewel of eastern Kentucky's outdoor scene:
Red River Gorge. Famed for its rock climbing, we are bringing trail running to The Red for one day of running, community, and adventure with the Cantuckee Y'all 50K and 15K.
See everything the Red River Gorge has to offer: breathtaking views as you run across the cliffs of Auxier Ridge, deep forest creeks along Chimney Top Creek, lush vegetation along Whittleton Branch, the ever-rugged Rough Trail from end to end, and natural arches like Grays Arch and THE BRIDGE at Natural Bridge State Park
Our races start and end at the Natural Bridge State Resort Park on Saturday, November 9, 2024.
Join us to see all the highlights of The Red in a single day!
Course
The 50K course is a series of loops with a couple of out-and-back sections that take you 32.5 miles through Red River Gorge in its entirety. The route is almost entirely single-track trails except for roughly miles along the crushed gravel of Tunnel Ridge Road.
The 15K course is an out-and-back route that follows the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail from Natural Bridge State Park to Grays Arch and back.
