The Urban Bourbon Half Marathon presented by Jim Beam® is an exciting, one-of-a-kind marathon featuring the beautiful scenery and bourbon for which Kentucky is famous. Starting and finishing in downtown Louisville, race participants will experience a scenic course through the fall foliage in Cherokee Park and past numerous downtown landmarks. After crossing the Finish Line, all participants receive free entry into the best post-race party around. The post-race Urban Bourbon Bash provides participants with free bourbon tastings, beer, pizza and Kentucky burgoo, all while being serenaded by local live music. Join us in Louisville for this amazing half marathon!

Kathryn Lucht's thoughts:

EXPO: There was not much of an expo. There were additional race t-shirts for sale, one running vendor, two massage table and some bourbon to sample.

T-Shirt: Long sleeve technical T. It was brown- which I did not love, but my husband liked his.

Course: Course ran along whiskey row, then thru a nice wooded area and back down a main street in Louisville. The wooded area was beautiful as the leaves were changing. There were a few hills on the course, but nothing extreme. There we very few spectators and not much for course entertainment (2 DJs).

Medal: The medal was a bourbon bottle dipped in wax. It is a unique addition to my collection.

Post Race: After the race there a band, soup, pizza and of course BOURBON!
