Race Information
Runners World has named the Rugged Red as one of the top 25 Running Trails in the US, so get ready for one of the baddest Trail Half Marathons East of the Rocky Mountains. You will be running deep in the heart of the Red River Gorge on rough trails, across a wooden swinging bridge, beside an amazing Natural Arch, and through several creek crossings.
You have 5 hours to complete it and the fastest runner did it in a little under 2 hours. The youngest athlete was 13 and the most experienced was 71.
