The Parklands 5K Walk & Run

Welcome to the second edition of The Parklands 5K Walk & Run!

Enjoy the beauty of The Parklands of Floyds Fork! This world-class addition to Louisville’s parks system that includes four major parks linked by a park drive, a first-rate urban trail system, and a remarkable water trail, all tracing Floyds Fork, a classic Kentucky stream. This public/private project is unique in the region and unlike anything currently in development across the country—truly a city-shaping model.

Take a beautiful stroll or an invigorating afternoon run through Beckley Creek Park while supporting The Parklands! Join us for The Parklands Walk & Run on Sunday, September 13, 2020, as we gather together to raise funds for the annual operations and maintenance of this 4,000-acre, donor-supported park system! 

The Parklands Walk & Run will support The Parklands Fund, the annual fund campaign that helps to support maintenance and operations in The Parklands. The Parklands is open 365 days a year, from dawn to dusk, with zero entry fee. It includes over 50 miles of trails for hiking and biking, a mountain bike park, a 19-mile, ADA-certified, multi-use paved trail that spans the length of the park and 20 miles of paddling trail. Thanks to community support, a safe, clean, fun and beautiful experience is provided for the millions of Parklands visitors every year!

ALL REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE A RACE SHIRT AND RACE MEDAL. MEDALS WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE RACE FINISH LINE.  For 5K Run participants, overall and age group awards will be presented to the top 3 male/female overall winners and top 3 male/female finishers in the following age groups: 12 & under, 13-15, 16-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 & over.
