Event Description

Luck O' the Irish to ye!

The Loopy Leprechaun 5K / 10K is a fun family friendly St. Patrick’s Day race designed for runners, walkers, and "leprechauns" of all ages hosted by Bigfoot Timing / Central Kentucky Race Management. This looped course will be on a 5K route around Cherokee Park from Hogan's Fountain. Dress in green and gold, wear costumes, and bring all of your family and friends out with you for a great morning of fun. The event focuses on community spirit and "shenanigans", so whether you are seeking to score a new PR, run your first race, or find motivation to keep moving and staying healthy please plan to join us.

Race Registration Fees are kept low in an effort to accommodate families seeking to participate without spending all of your gold. Shirts are available as an add-on. We love the shirt design and we believe many will want to get their hands on one to wear around St. Patrick's Day, make sure you order it during registration as they will only be available by pre-order.

Fun Awards

We will have a couple of fun awards for the best dressed leprechaun as well as a few others for those who love getting into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day.

We will have awards for Overall Male and Female finishers. Age groups will be posted on RunSignUp for bragging rights.

 
Restrooms

There will be on-site restrooms in addition to Portable Restrooms for the race near the start line.

Race Day Packet Pick-up will be on-site prior to the race start. We will be setup about 7:30 AM to Check-in participants.

T-Shirts

Shirts for this series are an optional add-on.  This keeps the cost of the race reasonable for families. We will have a limited number of shirts available for sale on race day. If you know you want a shirt, please pre-order during registration. 

Parking--ARRIVE EARLY & CARPOOL

Carpool as much as possible. We want to be respectful of the parks so we are able to have many more great events in the future. Carpooling is preferred to make space for everyone planning to participate. If you are planning to run with a friend, we encourage carpooling. Please do not park in the grass or blocking the roadway.
