Local, to Kentucky, Races and Events
(If you have a race in the area, including surrounding states, let me know and I will post about it)

Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run.  If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running  Club.  There is now a running group starting over in Burkesville, for info check out their FB Page- Burkesville Running Club.  Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.

Check out these Race Companies for local races: Good Times Even Services & Central Kentucky Race Management.  For trail and Ultra races in Kentucky and Virginia check out Next Opportunity Events

Want to test your speed - how about the Bluegrass Mile on October 4th on the dirt track at Red Mile in Lexington Kentucky

My friend Judy Walden is putting on the Judy Walden 5k October 26th in Elizabethtown, KY.  This is a free race (actual and virtual) but you can donate as all donations go to the Cancer Center of Elizabethtown in eh name of Judy - who herself is fighting cancer.  If you donate $30 or more you get a t-shirt.  Here is a short video on Judy:


Want to do a fun race before you dig into the days festivities then how about the Pilgrimage in the Park at Pulaski County Park in Nancy Kentucky on November 28, 2019. Did it last year but will be out of town this year but highly recommend this one. Great trails and great people.

In it's second year is the Falls 100 Ultra Trail Race (also a 50, Marathon and 1/2 Marathon as well as a 100 mile relay) - Run at the Falls of the Rough Resort in KY December 7, 2020
