About the Vulture Vista Ultra

The course runs through a reclaimed limestone quarry at DePauw Nature Park, where rock walls rise above wooded singletrack and exposed trail. Each loop returns you to the same start and finish hub, so crews and spectators are never far. Turkey vultures actually circle overhead. The terrain is genuinely hilly, and the summer heat is part of the deal.

Packet pickup is the evening before the race at Lost Hollow Brewery on Franklin Street in Greencastle. The start area is set up to accommodate crews and self-support, with aid stations on course stocked with standard ultra fare and Tailwind nutrition.

Common Questions About the Vulture Vista Ultra

Will I finish last at the Vulture Vista Ultra?

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 6:15:30, and the last recorded finisher came in around 6:51:14, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Vulture Vista Ultra a good first race?

It is a small race (42 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first race, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Vulture Vista Ultra?

The race winner ran 5:00:47 while the median finisher took 6:15:30. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
