Vulture Vista Ultra Year Three
June 27, 2026
DePauw Nature Park, Greencastle, Indiana
The Vulture Vista Ultra returns for its third year with a runner-built loop ultra set inside the former limestone quarry at DePauw Nature Park. Simple on purpose, challenging by design, and welcoming to runners of all levels.
The Course
The 4.5 mile loop winds through a reclaimed limestone quarry with tall rock walls, wooded singletrack, open trail, and wide views of the quarry cliffs. Turkey vultures circle overhead throughout the day, quietly observing who keeps moving and who starts to slow down.
The loop format keeps things honest and crew friendly, with runners passing through the start and finish area every lap.
Choose Your Challenge
• Six Hour Ultra
• Twelve Hour Ultra
Run solo or as part of a relay team and complete as many laps as possible before time runs out.
• 4.5 Mile Trail Run
A single loop option for newer trail runners, youth athletes, or anyone wanting to be part of race day without committing to an ultra.
Runner Experience
Expect two well stocked aid stations with ultra staples and Tailwind nutrition, a centralized start and finish area with space for crews or self support, clear course marking, and a laid back atmosphere that values effort over ego.
This is a race designed by runners for runners.
Giving Back
A portion of proceeds will support AKC A Kinetic Change and local high school and middle school track and cross country programs.
Your miles help create more opportunities for movement in the community.
