The Ascent Red River Gorge 5K

Are you up for a hilly trail challenge in the RRG? Have we got a race for you!
Join us for The Ascent Red River Gorge 5K on Saturday, June 28th at 8:00am for a race you'll never forget.

You'll run/walk/hike your 5K on private property which is not open to the public. Our race starts and finishes at the Natural Bridge Campground, just off the Slade exit in Red River Gorge country. The race is presented by the Rugged Red Race & Adventure Series. You'll only run/walk/hike a few miles to see some spectacular views and arches. But come prepared for some serious trail climbs with an unbelievable payoff.
