The Vulture Vista Ultra offers a one-of-a-kind racing experience in the historic DePauw Nature Park, a former limestone quarry. As you navigate this challenging 4.5-mile loop, you'll tread where massive machinery once reshaped the landscape. Surrounded by lush greenery and lively wildlife, including circling turkey vultures, the course is a blend of natural beauty and rich history, inviting you to connect with the land's transformation. This race emphasizes endurance over speed, encouraging participants to complete as many laps as possible within 6 or 12 hours, either solo or as part of a relay team. Each lap unveils remnants of the park's past, intertwining personal perseverance with the stories of those who came before. Your involvement also supports local non-profits focused on enhancing outdoor activities and trail development, making this race not only a test of physical limits but a contribution to a vibrant local community.
