Cops & Joggers 5K - Burlington
This event on September 12, 2026 in Burlington, Kentucky combines a community 5K and a separate kids 5K Fun Run. The field is based at the Boone County Sheriff's Office and England Idlewild Park, located at 5550 Idlewild Rd, Burlington, KY.
Distances offered:
- 5K for ages 12 and up
- Kids 5K Fun Run for ages 12 and under with a shorter, chalk-marked route option
The 5K course begins in front of the Boone County Sheriff's Office, continues down Conrad Lane toward Idlewild Road, follows a marked route through England Idlewild Park, and returns to the Boone County Sheriff's Office.
Entry pricing varies by registration window for the 5K, with tiered amounts for early, regular, and race-day rates. A permanent kids entry price is offered for the Fun Run, and family bundles are available for multiple registrations. T-shirt and medal availability depend on registration timing; children who register early are eligible for guaranteed apparel and a finisher medal plus sunglasses.
Proceeds support the Boone County Sheriff's Auxiliary. The auxiliary aims to raise funds for emergency relief for deputies and their families, mental health support after traumatic events, recognition during promotions and retirements, and compassionate care during times of grief.
Day-of on-site registration is available but closes shortly before the event to allow volunteers to process participants. In case of inclement weather the organizers may delay or cancel the event; there are no refunds for cancellations due to weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
