Featured Race - Sep 29, 2018

This is a beautiful, singletrack course that follows the Cumberland River and its class III & IV white water rapids. Some of the highlights to see are Dog Slaughter Falls, Star Creek Falls, Star Creek Shelter, Bark Camp Creek Shelter, Bark Camp Creek Cascades, and, of course, Cumberland Falls!

The Moonbow 30k is an out-and-back trail race that begins at the Moonbow Trailhead near the visitor center in Cumberland Falls State Park. The course takes runners along the Sheltowee Trace Trail, Kentucky's longest trail. Runners will be treated to miles of winding, singletrack trails and natural landmarks that include stunning rock overhangs, bark camp cascades, and magnificent waterfalls.

Runners will enjoy scenic views as they run alongside Class III-IV Cumberland River and adjoining creeks. The race ends with an iconic finish at the base of one of the most famous wonders of this region, Cumberland Falls. Standing 68 feet high and 125 feet wide, with an average water flow of 3,600 cubic feet per second, this waterfall has earned its nickname as the Niagara of the South.

*Moonbow 30K is a very wild and challenging race. Highly recommended for more advanced trail runners.
