The bluegrass Speedway - "king of the flat"

This course was designed for speed and energy! The looped course experience optimizes elevation and spectator access to their runners as well.


As the course runs through some of Paducah's most notable neighborhoods, runners will also find a majority of the course has been recently paved with new asphalt. 


Marathon runners will do 4 loops, half marathon is 2 loops, and each relay runner will do 1 loop. Each lap is a little over 6.5 miles.


This course is a Boston Qualifier and USATF certified (Cert # KY26003DJR)


NOTE:  *THERE IS A 6 HOUR CUTOFF TIME FOR ALL DIVISIONS
