Rebecca 's thoughts:

When you thing Kentucky, you think bourbon and the Urban Bourbon in Louisville, KY does not disappoint! Everything on the race is related to bourbon...the tech shirts (long sleeved!!), the merchandise (shot glasses!), event the communications are bourbon related, served neat. Plus race photos are INCLUDED!! Then there is the after party! Free to race participants (additional fee for spectators) including bourbon, craft beer, local pizza and burgoo without having to wait in long lines. All set in the beautiful fall scenery. The course itself runs through historic Cherokee Park, designed by Fredrick Law Olmstead as a precursor to Central Park in NYC, with a few rolling hills, but otherwise a flat course. Plenty of water stops and great volunteers! Stay for the whole weekend and take the discounted Bourbon Trail tours through various distilleries. A truly wonderful race experience!
