Crooked Creek 5K Trail Challenge

The Crooked Creek 5K Trail Challenge is a unique running event held at the Harry S. Frazier Scout Reservation in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. Taking place over two days in early December 2025, the challenge offers a 5K trail run through more than 1,000 acres of scenic terrain featuring rolling hills and dense forests of oak, hickory, and beech trees.

Runners navigate a course that includes climbs, descents, and a picturesque route around the 70-acre John Barr Lake. Known for its challenging ultra-trail races, Camp Crooked Creek provides a rare opportunity to experience this trail in a shorter format. Participants receive custom medals, with awards for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
