The 9th Annual Kentucky State Park Race Series will begin April 20, 2013 with the Goose Creek 5K at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park in Louisville.
Runners of all ages can take part in all five races to capture the overall championship based on a point system. Awards will be given to the overall male and female winner of each race and first and second place winners in each male and female age division. The grand prize winners of the race series, who must compete in all five races, will be named at the August 10th Turkey Strut 5K at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park. First and second place overall winners of the race series will win awards as well as Kentucky State Park gift cards.
All of those who run all five races will receive a certificate and be registered for a special giveaway prize which could include a one or two night stay at any Kentucky State Resort Park, Kentucky State Parks gift card, boat rental, camping or other related items. If running is not your thing, we also offer a 5K family fun walk in conjunction with the run and all are welcome including children, strollers and pets on a leash.
* REGISTRATION FEES FOR EACH RACE INCLUDE T-SHIRTS THAT ARE GUARANTEED FOR PRE-REGISTERED RUNNERS. DAY OF RACE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.
