Louisville Lovin the Hills

This event has been postponed from Feb 07, 2026 to May 23, 2026 May 23 2026 This year due to the weather we had to postpone the race. This year we will have the race May 23. Although it was hard I am sure for the safety of all it was the right decision. I think it maybe fun, too, to see the race when the weather is good. It should be really nice. The start finish area will be in the campground. We will be camping Friday night and I will pass along that information soon for those that maybe interested. Quest remains the sponsor and I will post info on pasta dinner and packet pickup soon. The Race This wonderful challenging race started in 2004 by Eric Grossman. In the beginning there was just the 50k which remains today as one of the hardest 50k's in this part of the country. It is a single track trail through the forest, which is divided into 3 parts. The Red/Orange Trail,(that is the 6 miler today)add the Blue, Yost, and Purple Heart (the 15 miler), add Siltstone and Scott's Gap and you have the 50k. I love these trails and this race! The first 4 years of the race I ran it and it became my New Year's focus each year. It gave me a goal for early in the year and put me in great shape for any other races I wanted to run later. This was my A race and as the race director I am still in love with these hills. Once you run them you will fall in love too! Please come join us this year.
