Southeastern Trailrunner Podcast 12 Hour Challenge

The Southeastern Trailrunner Podcast 12-Hour Challenge and the 12-Hour Relay Challenge will begin at Midnight, Sunday morning! BRING THOSE HEADLAMPS! The 6-Hour Challenge and the 6-Hour Relay Challenge will begin at 6 am on Sunday morning.

We figured this way, the 12-Hour peeps will need some company and a little pick-me-up. Just don’t get caught up in trying to keep pace with all those fresh legs suddenly on the course.

We will have a board where everyone will write their name. Each time you complete a loop, you’ll mark it down. We’ll use the lumberjack method on an honor system.

We plan on coming up with some kind of award for the person or persons with the most loops.

So this year, our region was given a huge gift in the form of the Twisted Oliver Trail System at Port Oliver in Scottsville, KY. This is about a 30 minute drive from Bowling Green, but the payoff is well worth it.

The race will start off in the gravel parking lot as we make our way to the trail head to thin everyone out in a single file line. Once you enter the trail, we will be running one continuous loop that combines the Pine Hill Loop and the Lake Loop.

We will be using the amphitheater, literally within 30 feet of the trail access, for our staging area. People can set up their tents, we’ll have food, drinks, etc. There are also brand new restrooms right there. This should make for an ideal spot to stop and fill up your hydration packs or take a power nap or two.
