Eagle 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon

Prepare for a unique summer running challenge at the Eagle 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, set to take place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in scenic Bowling Green, Kentucky. This event, hosted at Michael O Buchanon Park, invites runners of all levels to tackle its distinctive gravel, out-and-back course. Participants can choose their challenge from a 5K, 10K, or a Half Marathon (13.1M), promising a memorable experience on a non-traditional running surface.

The race kicks off at 8:00 AM, with packet pickup conveniently available starting 30 minutes before and closing 10 minutes prior to the race start. Ensure your registration is completed online, as no on-site registration is offered. Runners on the 5K course will complete two loops of the route, 10K participants will navigate it four times, and Half Marathoners will complete six loops. With a generous course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, there's ample opportunity to achieve your goals. Typical race day conditions in late July in Bowling Green often see highs around 90F and lows near 70F, with a 16% chance of precipitation.

All finishers will be celebrated with a well-deserved medal, commemorating their accomplishment. For those who love to add a touch of flair to their race day, a "Best Costume" award offers an extra element of fun and creativity to the event. Join fellow runners for a spirited day on the gravel trails of Bowling Green.
