Course
Runners start at Lighthouse Landing, follow the road about two miles to the trailhead on Kentucky Lake Scenic Drive, and run two laps of the Canal Loop before returning to Grand Rivers. The loop is mostly packed single-track, with rolling hills on the Lake Barkley side and bigger climbs on the Kentucky Lake side.
The loop is marked in blue; yellow-lettered markers are connector trails. All races have a 12-hour limit.
