Ran with University of Kentucky Nephrologist and good friend, Sam Beavin. Ran clockwise and followed the blue trail markings. We left a drop bag at Ridgetop (on the High Point Loop, at the intersection with Elm Lick Trail), making this a self-supported attempt.
Navigation was tough at times. Furthermore, this course is brutal right now. Single track and very technical. Don't think this trail has been cleared or maintained at all in quite some time. Most of the trail is barely runnable and there are some parts that are barely even walkable right now. Needs some serious trail maintenance or people are going to get hurt.
In the words of Kentucky legend, Rick Pitino, "Dig in." We got the job done.
One time for the one time.
