HeadFirst Performance re-scheduled LLTH (see last blog post) from February 5 to February 19 since the Jefferson Memorial Forest forbid the running of the event due to the ice storm. Registration has reopened at Ultrasignup:
https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=87105.
Online registration will close on Wed, February 16, 2022 at 11:59 pm EST.
The HeadFirst Performance website is still under construction and currently not available. All previous links thruout this blog that went thru that site are also not functioning.
Early packet pickup will be at QUEST OUTDOORS at 4600 Shelbyville Road in the Shelbyville Road Plaza on Friday, February 18, from 4 to 7 pm EST. They will be having their FREE pre-race pasta dinner again at the store location -- everyone is welcome.
You can also register and/or pick up your race packet at the Horine Center at the Start/Finish area on race morning starting around 7 am EST. It's recommended to pick up your packet on Friday to avoid the rush & lines on race day.
Thursday, 2-17-22 -- last minute notes for the LLTH 2-19-22 edition:
The Parks Dept. has been busy the last 2 weeks clearing trees and debris from the trails due to the ice storm. With the heavy rain (2") and gusty winds today, some more weakened trees have fallen across the trails (there's currently at least one large one on the Siltstone trail). Don’t know if the crew will be able to get to them on such short notice — if not, they’ll just add to your race day challenge!
Since 2020, there have only been very minor changes to the courses, and those have mostly been on the 50k portion of the Siltstone trail -- minor diversions at: Jefferson Hill Rd for a new trail bridge; Bearcamp Rd aid station for a new road culvert; and reconstruction of the Scott's Gap trailhead.
Flagging is orange this year. As usual, trail junctions are marked with several flags & major junctions have signs or a volunteer on site. Intermediate/confidence flagging is spaced approx. 200 to 300 feet along the entire course.
And, as in 2020: In collaboration with Land Between the Lakes (LBL) Event, a special award will be given to those who complete both LLTH (50k, 15m or 6m) and LBL (50m, 60k, marathon or 23k). Information on LBL can be found here: https://runsignup.com/Race/KY/GrandRivers/LandBetweentheLakestrailruns. When you finish at LBL, just let them know you did LLTH and they'll hand you the award.
Have Fun! Stay Safe!
