This race has changed courses a couple of times to accommodate construction in downtown Louisville. The latest iteration is just shy of 400 feet of elevation gain. it takes you through some of the prettiest areas of the city, just in time for the leaves to change color. Despite the hills, this course is extremely fast. The last 4 miles are mostly flat or downhill.

The Bourbon Bash after is A+. Each runner must be over 21. They each get 4 bourbon samplings, a burgoo sampling, a slice of pizza and a beer included in the registration cost. The medals are extremely cool too (most years shaped like a bottle of bourbon). The race uses an Ambassador program that always has a 10% discount built in, so there is always a way to save on registration.

This race is the third leg of the Fall Runathon in Louisville.
