About the Mayorthon
Created by Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg, the Planet Fitness Mayorthon is an exciting concept that encourages an active lifestyle within our community and supports runners and walkers with consistent race opportunities throughout the year.
In partnership with the Louisville Sports Commission, the Planet Fitness Mayorthon will consist of four total races including the Bourbon & Beyond 5K, Race the Runway 5.02K, Louisville PureTap 5K, and NEW for 2025, the Thru the Ville 5K.
Race the Runway 5.02k will be a unique run or walk that takes place at Louisvilleʼs Historic Bowman Field on August 2nd.
The Louisville Pure Tap 5K will take place on August 23rd at the Louisville Water Tower.
The Bourbon and Beyond 5K will take place on the Saturday morning of Louisvilleʼs Bourbon & Beyond Festival on September 13th at the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center. During the race, runners will have the opportunity to run through the Fairgrounds, while enjoying special surprises along the way.
And last but not least, the series will finish with a brand new race concept, Thru the Ville 5K, on November 1st.
All participants will receive a commemorative medal for all four races and upon participation and completion of all four Mayorthon races, each participant will receive a special Mayorʼs Official Mayorthon Challenge Coin.
