Kentucky Cryptid Series - Wolfman

The Kentucky Cryptid Series - Wolfman is a trail running event taking place in Louisville, Kentucky. It is the third race in a series of four themed runs. The event offers two distance options: a 7 Miler and a 4 Miler. Both courses are set on the trails of Iroquois Park, starting near the amphitheater.

Participants who complete three of the four series races, either in-person or virtually, receive a special "Cryptid Series Survivor" medal and shirt. Awards are given for Overall Male, Female, and Non-Binary winners. The event is cupless, so participants must bring their own water bottle or hydration pack. Water and pre-packaged snacks are provided post-race.

Packet pick-up occurs on-site before the race. T-shirts are an optional add-on during registration. Organizers encourage carpooling and early arrival for parking. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
