The Bullskin Athletic Complex is O P E N from 0800 hrs. until 2000 hrs. See below for a course map of the 400m Loop and layout of the entire course (eg. - hill section, 1K loop, parking, etc.). The Bullskin Course is located at approximately 99 Joyes Station Rd. in Shelbyville, 40065. It is on US 60, one mile west of Discovery Blvd. Go down Joyes Station Rd. from US 60 and take a right on the first farm road (paved road with Blue Meadow Farms sign). Drive to the end of the farm road. You can park behind (south side) the silo and to the left (east) of the barn. If you are just dropping off, pull around the back of the silo, drop, and head back out the farm road. If you are not familiar with the course, contact one of your teammates who runs cross country. There is water on site. The portable restroom is now on site.
Where to meet for track practice: If it is below 40 degrees and / or raining or snowing at 3:30 PM we will meet in the back hall across from the staircases. If it is not, then we will meet in the normal spot outside - on the east side of the concession stand. It will be posted on the Remind app if we are meeting inside. Please dress appropriately, since we may start inside and then go outside.
