In support of The Southern Conservation Trust, we invite you to sign up to run or walk our 5th Annual Run, the Ridge 5K, one of Fayette County’s largest and oldest trail runs. Experience the natural beauty of The Ridge Nature Area while traversing the trails that feature various elevation changes. You may even spot one of the frequently seen wildlife, including eastern box turtles, songbird species, white-tailed deer, or barred owls!


Brand-new Turtle Trot is a wild 1-mile fun run that’s not just a race but a reptilian rendezvous! Trot along the trail where Eastern Box Turtles roam freely, turning your ordinary jog into a thrilling turtle treasure hunt for all ages. Get ready to break free from the mundane and join the shell-shaking excitement of the Turtle Trot! Limited edition Turtle Trot souvenir included. Turtle Trotters will not be timed, included in awards, and do not receive regular race shirts.
Can’t Race on February 10? Now, you can participate at your convenience as a virtual racer. More details are coming soon.
