Hardin County Fair 4-H 5K Run/Walk

The Hardin County Fair 4-H 5K Run/Walk is a family-friendly 5K at the Hardin County Fairgrounds in Glendale, Kentucky, held during Hardin County Fair Week. It starts early in the morning and is built for both runners and walkers, with kids under 9 entering free and lower pricing for older children and teens. The course uses a mix of trail, gravel, and asphalt, so it feels more like a fairgrounds loop than a standard road race. Participants pass through fair areas such as the midway and motorsports arena, and the event raises money for Hardin County 4-H, which runs youth programs in areas like horses, livestock, dogs, shooting sports, beekeeping, rabbits and poultry, cooking, sewing, gardening, and robotics.
