The Birmingham Ultra Trail Society (BUTS) has partnered with the Jefferson County Greenways to host a Jefferson County Greenways members-only running event, I Like Ike.

Ike Maston, Trail 5, is the most challenging single-track trail at Red Mountain and measures approximately 3 miles from end to end. For this event, the 6-mile round trip counts as one “lap.” For I Like Ike, you’ll have six hours to run as many laps as possible. At the turn-around, a volunteer will mark your bib to show that you made it to the halfway point. When you make it back to the start line, you will mark your completion of the lap on a high tech poster board and decide whether or not to take on another lap. If you have not completed your final lap at the end of six hours, you don’t get partial credit.

The start of the race is at the Hoist House. You will check in and receive your bib at the park entrance on Frankfurt Drive, then walk or slow jog the mile to the Hoist House (warm up!). Check-in begins at the park entrance at 7 A.M and ends at 7:30 A.M. The run starts at 8 A.M. Please register if you plan on participating in this event.

This is a cup-less event, so bring your own bottles, packs, or reusable cups!

Whether you want to run one lap or five, come join us for a fun day of challenging yourself in the woods!
