About the Event

Description:


Welcome to the Otter Creek Trail Relay, where endurance, teamwork, and wild Kentucky beauty come together. Nestled along the scenic Ohio River, Otter Creek Park offers the perfect rugged backdrop for this multi-loop trail relay race.

Teams of 2 or 4 will take turns tackling three distinct loops – each one starting and ending at a vibrant central hub where runners, campers, music and cheering squads converge in true trail community style. Expect shaded singletrack, rocky ridgelines, dense forest, and rewarding river views that make every mile worth the sweat. Your teams race is completed when all members of your team have finished all 3 loops.

As the sun sets and headlamps flicker to life, the challenge intensifies. But so does the fun. With bonfires, music, and the camaraderie of your fellow runners, Otter Creek transforms into an unforgettable overnight trail party.

Whether you're a seasoned trail runner or new to relays, the Otter Creek Trail Relay offers the perfect mix of grit, nature, and good times. Push your limits. Rally your team. And run wild in one of Kentucky’s most scenic and storied parks.
