bg26.2 & half marathon and bg6000

Get ready to lace up for an unforgettable race through the picturesque streets of Bowling Green, Kentucky! Our event boasts a Boston Marathon qualifying USATF Certified Course that begins and ends at the vibrant Bowling Green Ball Park. Runners can choose from three adrenaline-pumping events: the full Marathon, which takes on the scenic loop twice; the Half Marathon for a brisk 13.1 miles; or the unique bg6000 (6K) for a dash through downtown. With a strict 6-hour time limit, the race promises to be as challenging as it is exciting, supplemented by cyclists who'll be on-hand to assist participants.

Enjoy the day before the race at our Expo & Pasta Dinner, fuel up and socialize with fellow runners at the Bowling Green Ballpark. Don't worry about bringing your crew along; they can join the feast for a small ticket fee at the door. And when it's all over, take pride in competing for overall finisher awards or age group accolades that recognize everyone from the swift young runners to the inspiring masters and grandmasters categories. Feel the rush of competition and the warmth of community this race season - The thrill of the finish line awaits!
