Run The Ridge Trail Race

The Run The Ridge Trail Race, held in Beaver Dam, Kentucky, offers 5K, 10K, and 25K trail running events along scenic dirt roads and overlooks once traveled by bluegrass legend Bill Monroe and his Uncle Pen. The challenging course features steep inclines and declines as runners ascend and descend the Ridge, starting and finishing at the historic Bill Monroe Homeplace. The event celebrates local culture with live bluegrass music on the course and at the Homeplace, coinciding with other Bill Monroe Foundation activities like “Pickin’ on the Porch” and camping jam sessions. All finishers receive medals, and top male and female runners in each distance earn awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
