Kentucky Cryptid Series - Bigfoot

The Bigfoot Race is the fourth in a series of trail runs through Louisville's beautiful parks. This is an eight mile run through the trails of Jefferson Memorial Forest. We'll start at Horine Reservation and make our way winding through Red/Orange Trails with a couple miles toward the Welcome Center and back. 5 Mile Option Added! If you are a bit timid to tackle the 8 Miler at JMF, then we have some good news for you! We have added a 5 mile option to the race. Just let us know at check-in and we can adjust your registration in seconds. Not registered yet, but that 5 mile option sounds too tempting to pass up, register today! Bigfoot! We have reached our favorite Big Guy! From Native American stories and early pioneer accounts to present day reports of Sasquatch, Night Howler, Yeahoh (Yahoo), Wild Man, Ohio Howler, Hebbardsville Hillbilly, Spottsville Monster, Big Mo to name a few, Bigfoot is no stranger to Kentucky. Of all Cryptids, Bigfoot has a very long history around the world and is even protected by law in places. We close out the Kentucky Cryptid Trail Series recognizing the Big Guy!
