Run Wild 2026

The race.

Run Wild takes place June 21, 2026, in Louisville, Kentucky, featuring 5-mile and 3-mile courses through single-track wooded trails at Turkey Run Park (Parklands of Floyd Fork). The 5-mile run is timed with awards for the top three male and female finishers; the 3-mile option is timed but has no awards. Both distances start and finish near the Brown Forman Silo, with approximately 600 feet of elevation change and terrain including roots and rocks primarily in the first mile. Race proceeds benefit Second Chances Wildlife Center, a nonprofit providing environmental education and wildlife rehabilitation to the Louisville area. All participants receive a custom medal and long-sleeve tech hoodie, with a water stop at the midway point (bring your own reusable cup). Packet pickup is available Saturday 2–5 p.m. and race morning starting at 7:45 a.m. at Ken Combs Running Store; morning-of registration costs $40 for the 3-mile and $45 for the 5-mile.
