About the Crooked Creek Ultra Trail Race
The course runs through a scout reservation outside Shepherdsville that is closed to the public the rest of the year. Hardwood forest, oak and hickory and beech, covers the rolling hills, and the trail has enough climbing to wear on you through multiple loops. Wildlife is around if you are paying attention. The start and finish sit near a lake.
The start area has room to set up support tents, and longer-distance runners have a designated pit stop where crews can also meet them partway through each loop. Cabins and primitive camping are available on site, and heated shower houses are open after the race.

The Crooked Creek Ultra Trail Race has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
