The Bigfoot Race is the fourth in a series of trail runs through Louisville's beautiful parks. This is an eight mile run through the trails of Jefferson Memorial Forest. We'll start at Horine Reservation and make our way winding through Red/Orange Trails with a couple miles toward the Welcome Center and back.
We have reached our favorite Big Guy! From Native American stories and early pioneer accounts to present day reports of Sasquatch, Night Howler, Yeahoh (Yahoo), Wild Man, Ohio Howler, Hebbardsville Hillbilly, Spottsville Monster, Big Mo to name a few, Bigfoot is no stranger to Kentucky. Of all Cryptids, Bigfoot has a very long history around the world and is even protected by law in places. We close out the Kentucky Cryptid Trail Series recognizing the Big Guy!
Those familiar with JMF will already know the drill, but for those who are new, there are classic outhouse restrooms at the start/finish area. Some fondly refer to these as the outhouses from hell. There are additional portable restrooms about 1/8 mile down the gravel campground lane which are much cleaner and better maintained. All of these will be open and accessible to race participants.
We will have an on course water stop for the 8 Milers as you come back off of the Red trail heading out toward the lake. 5 Milers will have plenty of water and refreshments awaiting them at the finish area. Just a reminder our trail races are cupless. Please bring your own water bottle or hydration vest. This greatly reduces litter and waste from our trail events.
Packet pick-up will be on-site near the parking lot prior to race start. We will be set up and ready for you about 7:00 AM. Please plan to pick-up your race packet with enough time to allow for pinning your bib before race start.
Shirts for this series are an optional add-on. This keeps the cost of the race reasonable for families. We will have a limited number of shirts available for sale on race day. If you know you want a shirt, please pre-order during registration.
We ask that you plan to arrive early for parking. Carpool as much as possible. Parking is limited at Horine Reservation. We want to be respectful of the parks so we are able to have many more great events in the future. Carpooling is preferred to make space for everyone planning to participate. If you are planning to run with a friend, we encourage carpooling.
This event is CUPLESS. Please bring your own water bottle, hydration pack, or cup. Bottled Water will be available in limited supply. Water and pre packaged snacks will be available post race.
If you plan to run any of the races virtually, sign up as in person and shoot us a quick email.
