Sheltowee Trace Ultras

The Big Turtle Trail Runs are run on an out-and-back course that runs from beautiful downtown Morehead to the northern terminus of the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail and back.  50K-ers and 10 Milers turn around sooner.  

This race will give you a little bit of everything:  rolling meadows, steep climbs and descents, rugged terrain, creek crossings, fast forest roads, and amazing spring views of the surrounding Appalachian foothills.

Our races start and end at the Laughlin Building in beautiful downtown Morehead, Kentucky on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

Whether you want an ultra challenge or if this is your first trail run, we have a spot for you!
