The Bullskin Course is now open. Hrs. are 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 (gravel 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 not familiar with the course, contact one of your teammates who ran cross country.  Don't forget to practice physical (aka "social") distancing and to bring your own water.

"Picture of the Month" (POM) feature.  Picture can be of this year or a previous year and can be of a parent, athlete or coach running, jumping, hurdling or throwing or just having fun at a competition or workout.  I have started with the 3/23 Picture of the Week.  It is from the spring of 1979 at Centre in Danville, KY. Pictures must:

  • Be of a parent or athlete running, jumping, throwing, or hurdling, or a picutre of them during a meet or workout
