About the Mayorthon
Created by Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg, the Planet Fitness Mayorthon is an exciting, new 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 two new races, The Bourbon & Beyond 5K and Race the Runway 5.02K and two existing races, Norton Sports Health 4-Miler and Louisville PureTap 5K.
The Louisville Pure Tap 5K will take place on September 7th at the Louisville Water Tower.
The Bourbon and Beyond 5K will take place on the Saturday morning of Louisvilleʼs Bourbon & Beyond Festival on September 21st, 2024 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.
The Norton Sports Health 4-Miler will take place on September 30th at Iroquois Park.
Race the Runway 5.02k will be a unique run or walk that takes place at Louisvilleʼs Historic Bowman Field on November 16th, 2024. During the race participants will get a chance to run on the runway to complete the final event of the Mayorthon series.
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.
