War Hammer
First held in 2018, the War Hammer 100 ran a double out-and-back on the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail in Kentucky — from Sheltowee Camp in London, 25 miles south to Cumberland Falls State Park and back, then a second out-and-back through technical creek beds, boulder scrambles, and deep valleys in Daniel Boone National Forest. The course was 90% unpaved trail with a 36-hour cutoff. A 100-mile distance last appeared in results for 2022; the 2024 edition offered only 50-mile and 50K distances, and the 2025 event was cancelled. Last known status: no longer offered as a 100-miler.
