Pro tips
- 01
Start at Food City
The race begins with a 7:00 AM shotgun start at the Food City grocery store in Goody, near South Williamson. Plan your morning around that eastern Kentucky start.

Respect the Hills
The description calls the course a run through the hills and hollows of eastern Kentucky. Pace for rolling, uneven terrain rather than a flat road marathon.

Pick Your Distance
The event offers a full 26.2-mile marathon and a 13.1-mile half. If you're a 50 Stater, either West Virginia or Kentucky counts because the course runs through both.

Plan for 21.7°C
Typical race-day temperature is 21.7°C, so expect mild-to-warm June conditions. Adjust your pace and clothing for that specific range.

Expect a Bigger Field
The race began with 13 runners in 2000 and now welcomes over 1,000. The start will be busier than the small-town setting suggests, so seed yourself accordingly.
