Vulture Vista Ultra

Greencastle, IN

Welcome, intrepid runners! The Vulture Vista Ultra isn't your typical race. Held in the historic DePauw Nature Park, once a bustling limestone quarry from 1917 to 1977, this unique course offers a challenge unlike any other. Imagine: You stand where mountains of rock were blasted and crushed, transported by steam shovels and railcars. Your footsteps might retrace those of Mr. Robert Mahoney, whose family lived here and witnessed the quarry's operations firsthand. Now, lush greenery and diverse wildlife reclaim the land, while turkey vultures, with their keen eyes, circle the steamy quarry cliffs. But this isn't just a scenic stroll. Prepare to test your endurance on our demanding 4.5-mile loop, designed to push your limits. Choose your adventure: the 6-hour or 12-hour challenge and compete as an individual or on a relay team of up to 4 runners. Conquer as many laps as possible, fueled by the spirit of the land's transformation and the watchful gaze of the resident vultures. This race i
