This multi-distance event at Turkey Bend Recreation Area offers options for most endurance runners: a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and 50K ultra. Whether you're looking for a shorter trail effort or committing to the full ultra distance, entry fees range from $29.99 to $189.99 depending on your chosen distance.
