The race starts and finishes at the celebrated Bill Monroe Homeplace, celebrating bluegrass heritage with live music along the course and on the Homeplace porch. It is linked with Bill Monroe Foundation events such as Pickin’ on the Porch and Camping and Jamming, and primitive camping is available.
