Vulture Vista Ultra

Vulture Vista Ultra Year Three

June 27, 2026
DePauw Nature Park, Greencastle, Indiana

The Course

• Distance: The 4.5 mile loop winds through a reclaimed limestone quarry.
• Terrain: Features tall rock walls, wooded singletrack, open trail, and wide views of the quarry cliffs.
• Scenery: Turkey vultures circle overhead throughout the day, quietly observing who keeps moving and who starts to slow down.
• Format: The loop keeps things honest and crew friendly, with runners passing through the start and finish area every lap.

Choose Your Challenge

• Six Hour Ultra: Run solo or as part of a relay team and complete as many laps as possible before time runs out.
• Twelve Hour Ultra: A challenging option for those looking to push their limits.
• 4.5 Mile Trail Run: A single loop option for newer trail runners, youth athletes, or anyone wanting to be part of race day without committing to an ultra.

Runner Experience

• Support: Expect two well stocked aid stations with ultra staples and Tailwind nutrition.
• Facilities: A centralized start and finish area with space for crews or self support.
• Course Marking: Clear course marking to guide runners throughout the event.
• Atmosphere: A laid back atmosphere that values effort over ego.

Giving Back

• Proceeds: A portion of proceeds will support AKC A Kinetic Change and local high school and middle school track and cross country programs.
• Community Impact: Your miles help create more opportunities for movement in the community.
