Race Info
The Urban Bourbon 5K starts at South 6th and West Main streets in downtown Louisville and heads east on flat city streets toward Lynn Family Stadium on Adams Street before turning back to the finish on South 4th Street. It shares its start and finish area with the half marathon on the Saturday of race weekend but skips the hills of Cherokee Park, making it the short, fast option on the card. The out-and-back route stays on closed downtown streets with almost no elevation change.
