The Bluffs Trail Runs
The event takes place at Echo Bluffs State Park and routes also travel through Current River State Park. Courses run on single-track and other trail surfaces and return to the finish area in the parks.
Distances offered include:
- Trail Marathon 26.2 Miles
- Trail Half Marathon 13.1 Miles
- 15K 9.3 Miles
- 10K 6.2 Miles
- 5K 3.1 Miles
- Elevated Youth 1M 1 Mile
The Trail Marathon follows the Half Marathon course twice. The Trail Half Marathon follows the 15K course. The 15K route features 360 degree bluff views, single-track sections, colorful vegetation, and views of the Current River. The 10K course runs through rolling hills and trails near lodges and cabins in Echo Bluffs State Park. The 5K provides a shorter trail option for running or hiking.
Youth entry categories are indicated for some distances, including events labeled for ages 19 and under and a 1 mile youth run for ages 10 and under. For the 1 mile youth run, all youth receive a medal, bib, and a small gift. The event operates as a cupless event, so runners should plan for their own hydration vessel.
