Welcome to the 5th running of the Run LBL Half Marathon, and 10K presented by Durbin Race Management!

Those of you who have run this event know that it’s a beautiful, yet challenging, ROAD course.  It’s like being on a trail without the trip hazards.

The 13.1 and 10k both start at Lighthouse Landing, down past the sailboats, along the shoreline of beautiful Kentucky Lake. Runners quickly make their way to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, where we utilize the aptly named Kentucky Lake Scenic Drive. 10k runners turn and return to the finish, while half marathoners continue onward, and into the woods via small camp roads, some paved, some gravel, and a nice, winding, paved bike path, before heading back to Grand Rivers for the finish in front of the Grand Rivers Tourism Office.

Halloween Trail Ride at Livingston County Trail System

Join riders and runners for the inaugural Halloween Trail Ride or Run at the Livingston County Trail System. You can ride at your own pace, and you can ride all or part of the trail. Back at the trailhead, we’ll have Halloween goodie bags after the ride. Bike helmets and lights are required to participate. Costumes and bike lights or decorations are encouraged. This is a free, family-friendly event.

The Halloween Trail Ride starts at 5:30 PM on Thursday, October 31. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before ride time.

Directions:

The Livingston County Trail System is located just south of I-24 (Exit 31). Continue South on of KY 453 and turn right on Lodge Road. The trailhead is located next to the Tween The Rivers RV Park at 831 Vulcan Road, Grand Rivers, Kentucky 42045

About the Livingston County Trail:

The ride is a fun and interactive way to explore the newly transformed Livingston County Trail System. The trail was recently expanded and upgraded. Special thanks to Jim Smith Contracting, Vulcan Materials, and the Wood N Wave bike team for their work on the project and community-minded spirit. Trail systems contribute to the quality of life in communities by providing recreational, health, and environmental benefits.

The Livingston County Trail System now features a five-mile loop hiking/biking trail made of hard pack gravel. It is interconnected with an additional five miles of single-track dirt mountain bike trails.

The trail first follows a ridgeline and then opens into a field with a view of the Cumberland River and the I-24 Bridge. The trail then loops down and back up beside an old cemetery, then climbing another ridge before descending and continuing back to the trailhead.

The landscape features hardwood timbers, pine thickets, old home places, and ponds. Most of it is easily negotiated by an experienced rider, but there are a few challenging lines with tight corners and a couple of very steep and long climbs. With multiple trailhead entry points, this trail system isn’t just a loop and can be ridden in numerous ways with various line combinations.

Ride or run the Livingston County Trail System Halloween Outing.
