DESCRIPTION

The Urban Bourbon Half Marathon presented by Jim Beam® is a 13.1 mile experiential destination event that celebrates and promotes 200 years of Louisville and Kentucky distilling history, combined with a two-state half marathon route that celebrates Louisville’s river heritage and provides a distinct downtown running experience. 

Participants will receive a long-sleeve tech shirt and unique bourbon-themed medal, as well as entry into the post-race Urban Bourbon Bash, which was heralded by Runners’ World magazine as one of the best half marathon after-parties in the country. In the Urban Bourbon Bash, all registrants will receive bourbon samples, beer, and hot food including Kentucky burgoo. Walkers may participate, but must be able to keep a 15:00 minute per mile pace since roads will reopen at this pace.

Since our Urban Bourbon Half Marathon presented by Jim Beam® is meant for those age 21 or older, includes bourbon and bourbon-themed medals, you must be 21 or older on Oct. 8, 2022 to register. Online registration will close at 11:59 pm on Oct. 6, 2022.
