Urban Bourbon Half Marathon and 5K : Louisville, October 17, 2026

The Urban Bourbon Half Marathon and 5K is a race weekend in Louisville that includes in-person and virtual options. The half marathon covers 13.1 miles and begins and ends in downtown Louisville. The course passes through Cherokee Park and highlights fall foliage and local landmarks tied to Louisville and Kentucky distilling history.

Walkers are allowed but must keep an 18-minute-per-mile pace because the course has a time limit. All in-person participants receive a long-sleeve shirt and a bourbon-themed finisher medal. Half marathon entrants receive food and beverage items as part of entry, including bourbon samples, beer, pizza, and soup. 5K participants may buy a discounted wristband for access to the same post-race offerings for a stated fee of $20.

Registered participants are invited to the Urban Bourbon Bash at Fourth Street Live, which includes live music. The event is organized by the Urban Bourbon Half Marathon and 5K and takes place in Louisville, Kentucky, on October 17, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
