 The Knobstone Trail is a great recreational trail very comparable to the Appalachian Trail. Single track with rocks roots and some big hills. For Louisville and county adjacent trail runners this is a great local race and is becoming a local favorite! 

In short it is a worthy challenge for all levels of athletes. 

Overall awards will be presented as well as bonus prizes. 

We will provide food for all participants and family as well as volunteers.
