The College division distances should be great for early season-openers and the high school relays should be a unique and fun experience as the campaign gets rolling.
Our layout at beautiful Yellow Creek Park is conveniently laid out for easy access to kilometer and mile splits and is very spectator friendly. The course is slightly rolling with good footing and extremely well groomed, with the reputation of being one of the premier courses in Kentucky.
