From the Race Organizer
⚡ Forty5 — Where Grit Meets Wild Kentucky Forty5 isn’t just a race — it’s a full‑throttle tour of the rugged, rolling, relentlessly beautiful backcountry of Laurel County. Starting at Sheltowee Camp, you’ll launch straight into a 45‑mile adventure packed with fast pavement, flowing singletrack, and long stretches of remote gravel that test your legs, lungs, and grit.
