We plan to reopen when it warms up. 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. |
