🏞️ Course Description

After talking to many who have previously run Blackacre trails, we believe we have mapped out a course which sticks to more trails and less Cross Country style running. Starting near the 1790 Double Crib Barn, we follow the lane to jump on the Sunrise Meadow trail, continuing into the woods on the Waterfall Trail. The course will eventually lead past notable landmarks including one of the oldest White Oaks in Kentucky and the Dragonfly Pond.
