Vulture Vista Ultra

Vulture Vista Ultra
Welcome, bold athletes!The Vulture Vista Ultra offers a race experience like no other, set in the historic DePauw Nature Park, a former limestone quarry. This unique course is your playground for an athletic challenge that defies the ordinary.

Picture yourself running where mountains of rock were once moved by steam shovels and railcars. Your path may echo the steps of Robert Mahoney and his family, who lived amidst the quarry's operations. Today, nature has reclaimed the land with vibrant greenery and wildlife, while turkey vultures glide overhead.

This course is no walk in the park. Prepare to push your limits on a grueling 4.5-mile loop designed to test your endurance. Choose between the 6-hour and 12-hour challenge, competing alone or on a relay team of up to four runners. Strive for as many laps as possible, inspired by the area's transformation and the vigilant vultures above.

It's not just about speed; it's about stamina. With each lap, you'll pass historic remnants and ponds, pushing your body to become part of the park's evolving history.

But your impact doesn't end at the finish line. The Vulture Vista Ultra supports Putnam County Parks and Pathways and AKC A Kinetic Change, both committed to enhancing outdoor activities and local trails. By participating, you're not only challenging yourself but also contributing to a healthier, more vibrant community.

This isn't just a race; it's a testament to resilience and transformation—both for you and the land. See you at the starting line!
