Race Overview:

Y'all are a Loopy Bunch

A week ago we had to place our medal order and well… in the past 3 days you filled in all of our spots to get a medal. No worries! We still want you to join us and we have put together a finisher token to celebrate you as well. Register with the link above or at packet pick-up and on-site registration. On site registration is cash or Venmo only. Kim will get you taken care of at packet pick-up. You will still get to come out and have a blast with us on Sunday!

 

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. 

 

Packet Pick-Up

Saturday at Ken Combs Running Store from 1 PM to 3 PM. Kim will be at Ken Combs with your race packets and store items.

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

Shirt Pre-Orders are closed to allow time for printing.

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.
