Saunders Springs Shootout presented by Radcliff/Fort Knox Tourism

Two days of fun are headed to the trails at Saunders Springs Nature Preserve, April 11-12, 2026. On Saturday, come challenge yourself — or bring a crew — in solo, duo, or four-person classes in mountain biking endurance races. On Sunday, the trails come back to life with the sounds of runners. Choose between the 5K, 10K, and 25K distances. Both the run and bike courses are 99% singletrack, with that perfect Saunders Springs mix of scenic and “who designed this hill?” tough.
