About the event

Join the WOLF PACK for a trail 1/2 Marathon, 6 Hours of Power, 10K, 5K & 20K Relay in General Butler State Park! Enjoy the Overlook at sunset to see the confluence of the Kentucky and Ohio Rivers. Come and run with us in the Ohio River valley!

The General Butler State Resort Park is named for early American General William O. Butler of Kentucky, who fought in the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War. The park was built on the grounds of the Butler family farm, which was begun by General Butler’s father, Percival Butler, who fought in the Revolutionary War. Still standing is the Butler-Turpin House, which was built in 1859 for Mary Eleanor Butler, niece of General Butler, and her husband Philip Turpin. Today, the Butler-Turpin House is a museum open for guided tours, featuring pieces from the family’s history. The park also has a large lodge, campground, event center, and lake for visitors to explore.
