Urban Bourbon Half Marathon & 5K

The Urban Bourbon Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile experiential destination event that celebrates 200 years of Louisville and Kentucky distilling history. The race begins and ends in downtown Louisville and winds through the scenic fall foliage of Cherokee Park. Walkers are welcome to participate, provided they can maintain an 18-minute per mile pace, as the course will close at 12 p.m.

Returning in 2026, the Urban Bourbon 5K offers a shorter and smoother version of the UBHM.

Since both events are designed for adults, all participants must be at least 21 years old on Oct. 17, 2026, to register, and online registration closes at 7:59 p.m. on Oct. 16, 2026.
