Candy Cane Course-Louisville 2026

The Candy Cane Course in Louisville, Kentucky, takes place at the Parklands of Floyds Fork. It offers a Christmas-themed run with options including a Kids Dash, an untimed 1 Mile, and timed 5K, 10K, and 15K races. The event is designed for both families and dedicated runners, featuring a separate dash for children 10 and under, and youth pricing for the 5K and 10K events. The 5K, 10K, and 15K races utilize chip timing with live results and awards. The 1 Mile and Kids Dash are untimed for a more casual experience. All finishers receive race merchandise: a custom bib, a designer shirt, a medal, and complimentary photos. Post-run refreshments are provided. The Candy Cane Course extends the holiday theme with offerings like cocoa, coffee, tea, music, and a medal that doubles as a Christmas ornament. A virtual race option is available for remote participation, and a "Volunteer then Run" entry allows helpers to compete.
