Online registration thru Ultrasignup ends tonight.
There are 2 locations in Louisville with early packet pickup & registration on Friday, February 8: KEN COMBS RUNNING STORE at 4137 Shelbyville Road from 11 am to 2 pm EST and at QUEST OUTDOORS at 4600 Shelbyville Road in the Shelbyville Road Plaza from 4 to 7 pm EST. QUEST OUTDOORS
will be having their FREE pre-race pasta dinner again this year at
their store location from 5 to 7 pm EST -- everyone is welcome.
You can also register or pick up your race packet at the Horine Center at the Start/Finish area on race morning around 7 am EST. It's recommended to pick up your packet on Friday to avoid the rush & lines on race day.
Flagging will be light orange this year. Trail junctions will be marked with several flags & major junctions will also have signs or a volunteer on site. Intermediate flagging is spaced approx. 200 to 300 feet along the entire course.
It's been raining most of the day here with 60+ degree temps. More rain is predicted thru tomorrow (Thursday): FORECAST Lots of water & several real muddy spots on the trails, but with a "flash freeze" predicted Friday, the concern will be ICE and slick spots on race day. Most of the trails will be "crunchy". Past experience on these trails has shown ICE can be a problem as sometimes water drains or seeps from the side of a hill down onto a trail & freezes solid. Hopefully it won't Saturday, but BE WARY, especially on narrow downhill trails.
The courses are the same as last year with very minor changes due to damage from the major ice storm last November.
NOTE:
Some low-cost gloves (& hand warmers) have been donated to Headfirst Performance — you’ll find them in your race packet. These HI-VIS gloves can be handy when hunters are around. Guys - Lg, Gals - M, both fit on the small side.
Keep Warm, Have Fun & Good Luck!
