Come one come all for the 15th Annual Gathering and Annual Membership Meeting!

You’re invited to join us as we celebrate the Hiker Challenge Class of 2026 and their remarkable accomplishments.

A Silent Auction will take place and the online store will also be onsite where you can purchase a lot of the great Sheltowee Trace items you see online.

This is a potluck event held at the Center for Rural Development in Somerset KY. Everyone brings a dish and we get to try delicious food from all across Kentucky and our neighboring states. The meat dish and drinks are provided by the STA.

The Gathering is open to the public but we ask participants to register. More information and a registration link will be provided as this event gets closer.

Reserve Your Discounted Hotel Room for The Gathering

For those having to travel any long distance, we have reserved a room block next door at the Courtyard by Marriott. If you reserve your room by Thursday, November 5, you can take advantage of a discounted room rate of just $121 plus taxes for the night of Saturday, December 5. King and Double Queen rooms are available.

To make your reservation, call the hotel at 606-679-0090 and tell them you are with the “ST Gathering” room block to secure the discounted rate.

Don’t plan to drive home late at night. Come socialize or just hang out with fellow hikers in the hotel lobby after our formal meeting.
