About the Bluegrass Reaper Challenge
The course is a paved loop around Berea City Park, repeated until you hit your distance or the clock beats you. Each lap carries a modest climb and a quad-testing descent, so it is not flat, and the hard surface keeps the pace honest. No aid stations on course, so you carry what you need or rely on the start area between laps.
Packet pickup and check-in happen race morning at the park. Between laps, runners spread out under a large picnic shelter with restrooms nearby. There is room to pitch a tent and set up chairs in the ball fields, which makes the waiting between efforts more manageable if you bring friends or family.
