Harrods Creek Trail Bash 2026

Harrods Creek Trail Bash is a fall trail race held in Harrods Creek Park, Prospect, Kentucky. It offers a one-lap 5K and a two-lap 10K. Nearly the entire course is off-pavement, providing a genuine trail experience without requiring an ultra-marathon commitment. The event, which began recently, attracts both novice trail runners and individuals who use trail races for off-season fitness. The loop begins and ends near the park's parking lot. It starts across grassy, meadow-like terrain before transitioning to singletrack for the majority of the run. The course incorporates sections of all four park trails, adding variety to the short race beyond a basic out-and-back. Proceeds support the upkeep and improvements of Harrods Creek Park. Race-day amenities include chip timing, shirts, finisher and overall awards, tree cookies, coffee, and snacks. Roadside parking is available in the adjacent neighborhood, making early arrival and carpooling advisable.
