2026 Breathitt County Honey Run

The Breathitt County Honey Run takes place in September in Jackson, Kentucky, coinciding with the annual Breathitt County Honey Festival. The race begins on Lakeside Drive in the Lakeside neighborhood, close to Panbowl Lake. Options include a 5K run, a 10K run, a 2-mile walk, and a short Kids Fun Run for participants aged 12 and under. The Breathitt County Cooperative Extension Office and Juniper Health present the event. The races and walk for adults offer age-group awards for both male and female runners, with categories ranging from 14 and under up to 75 and older. The Kids Fun Run does not have age-category awards, but all participating children receive a small prize. A portion of each registration fee benefits local track and cross-country programs. The route might be adjusted if Highway 15 construction impacts the area.
