Whether you’re chasing a PR or your first finish line, our smooth, spectator-friendly looped course keeps you engaged from start to finish. The American Bluegrass Classic punches above it's weight to offer the perfect race for Boston Qualifiers and 50 Staters, while giving runners a chance to celebrate in the UNESCO Creative City of Paducah.

This Race is BUILT FOR SPEED!

Loop design = constant energy and crowd support!

Ideal for first timers AND serious racers

Marathon runners will run 4 loops, half-marathoners will run 2 loops, and relay runners will run 1 loop (which is slightly longer than a 10K). The race will start and finish in our Historic Downtown.

There's something for everyone in the family on Oktoberfest weekend. Great music, food, beverages and even activities for the kiddos!
