Course and logistics

The course starts on the Canton side of the Lake Barkley Bridge, crosses into the Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area, follows the paved path along Highway 80, then connects with the Central Hardwoods Scenic Trail. Runners remain on that trail until Fenton, then connect with the Kentucky Lake Bridge and finish just west of Kentucky Lake along Highway 80.

For the individual entry the course is described as a 13.6 mile route made up of an initial 3.6 mile paved section, about 8.2 miles of packed gravel woodland trail, and a final 1.8 mile paved section. The woodland trail includes moderate elevation changes.
