Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the delightful Thin Mint Sprint 5K, taking place on May 9, 2026, in the charming community of Russell, KY. This beloved event, organized by the Girl Scouts of Kentucky's Wilderness Road, offers a fantastic opportunity to support a great cause while enjoying a scenic run. Typical race day conditions in early May are ideal for running, with highs around 75°F and lows near 52°F, and a relatively low chance of precipitation.

The 5K course is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all participants, starting and finishing at the Russell Senior Center at 520 Bellefonte Street. Runners will embark on a journey that winds past local landmarks like the Super Quik, before heading towards the tranquil river. The route then leads along the river before an out-and-back section towards Worthington, promising pleasant views. This mostly flat course, likely on paved roads, offers a smooth experience for those chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll.

What truly sets the Thin Mint Sprint apart is its sweet reward: every registrant receives a coveted box of Thin Mint cookies! Beyond the delicious treat, participants can look forward to a guaranteed race shirt, door prizes, and awards for the top two overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three in each age group. The race is a key fundraiser, with all proceeds directly supporting the Girl Scouts of Kentucky's Wilderness Road in their mission to empower girls through enriching programs and adventures. Join this community-focused event for a memorable run and help build courage, confidence, and character in young girls.
