Otter Creek Trail Relay

The Otter Creek Trail Relay is an overnight team relay held April 11–12, 2026 at Otter Creek Park in Brandenburg, Kentucky, along the Ohio River. Teams of two or four alternate running three looped trail segments that each start and finish at a central hub on the park grounds. A team completes the race when all members have finished all three loops.

Course terrain includes shaded singletrack, rocky ridgelines, dense forest, and river views. Runners, campers, music, and cheering squads gather at the central hub, and activities in the evening include bonfires and music. Night running is part of the event and headlamps are used after dark.

  • 5 miles
  • 9 miles

Camping on the property is limited and must be reserved through the campground website. Available sites listed by the organizer are Tent (60), RV (120), and Cabins (5).
