This race was a quick 5k along River Road, starting at the scenic Louisville Water Tower. The parking was easy, and the race itself was pretty well-organized, the course was well marked, and packet pick-up was a breeze.
It’s a great, flat race that is mostly shaded (which is great, since the race is at a hot time of year). There were bagels and bananas at the end of the race, along with Lousville Pure Tap water. I don’t know if I would sign up for this as a stand-alone event, but it was a great first race in the Louisville Fall Runathon series!
