LBL Bridge to Bridge Trail Run : event overview

The LBL Bridge to Bridge Trail Run follows a point to point route through the Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area. The course begins at the Lake Barkley Bridge, follows a paved path along Highway 80, connects with the Central Hardwoods Scenic Trail for a long woodland section, and finishes just west of Kentucky Lake along Highway 80 after crossing the Kentucky Lake bridge.

Race formats and distances:

  • 13.6 mile single runner course
  • Two person relay with an exchange at Golden Pond Visitor Center, first leg about 7.4 miles, second leg about 6.2 miles
  • Three person relay with segments of about 3.6 miles, 3.8 miles, and 6.2 miles

The single runner course includes paved sections and an extended packed gravel woodland trail with moderate elevation changes. Water stations are placed at roughly two mile intervals along the Central Hardwoods Trail, including Devil's Elbow, Sunset, Meredith, Visitor's Center, English Hill, and Fenton.

Packet pickup is available early at Growing Wild in Murray and on race day at Kenlake State Resort Park near the tennis courts. Transportation is provided from the Kenlake registration area to the start line and to exchange zones, and buses return runners from exchange zones to the finish after a segment is complete.

Dogs are permitted on leash with no pet awards and no required pet registration. Registration is handled online. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
