Sweaty Hooters Trail Runs Nancy, KY   Aug 22, 2026

Set on the stunning, shadow-laced trails of Pulaski County Park, the Sweaty Hooters Trail Runs began as a humble 15K night run—and has since evolved into a full-blown evening of epic adventure. Choose your own path: take on the 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon—or go full beast mode and conquer all three in the 36KM Stage Race. Whether you’re chasing the sunset or racing through the dark like a creature of the night, this is your chance to craft your own legend.

Select one or more of the night’s exciting events: choose between the 5K, 10K, or the Half Marathon trail run. Whether you’re up for a quick run or a longer challenge, there’s a race for everyone!

The 5K and 10K courses each offer their own unique adventure, but the Half Marathon is where the real challenge begins in the dark—a fusion of both routes, kicked off with an 6KM hotlap to test your grit right from the start. It’s the ultimate nighttime showdown.

Each race kicks off at a set time, giving you the chance to double up—or go all in and tackle all three for an epic 36K stage race! Every event comes with its own unique medal, so you can stack up some serious bling in a single night. Distances are dialed in between 500–1000 meters of the official mark, keeping the challenge real.

36K Stage Race
Take on all three stages of this epic challenge—owl-eyed and ready. You must complete each stage before advancing to the next, with every leg launching at its scheduled time under the watchful gaze of the night.

Your official time is the total of your stage finishes—no pressure between events. That in-between time? It’s your chance to rest, refuel, and channel the silent focus of the owl before taking flight again. Miss a cutoff on stage 1 or 2? You can still continue, but your official time for the next stage will begin with the main field. Stay sharp, stay swift, and soar through the dark.

Selecting “Stage Race” at registration enters you into the 5K, 10K and Half.
