The Tails & Tatas Breast Cancer Awareness 5k Run/Walk is an October event in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. It offers an in-person 5k, a virtual 5k, and a 1-mile run for children 12 and under. The race begins and ends at Swope Toyota Dealership. Registration is $25 for the 5k and $10 for the kids' run. All proceeds support the Baptist Health Foundation Hardin. The in-person course follows a path from the dealership through Freeman Lake Park, presenting it as a community run/walk rather than a competitive road race. Dogs are included in the activities; a pet costume contest begins 30 minutes prior to the run/walk, featuring awards for cutest dog, best costume, and dog/owner look-alike. Top three male and female finishers in the 5k and kids' run will receive awards, while all 1-mile finishers get medals. This event has been held for nine years and is a partnership with the Swope Family of Dealerships. Packet pickup is available before race day at both Pet Supplies Plus and Swope Toyota.

Turtle Run offers a variety of wines, including sweet, dry, red, white, barrel-aged, and tank-aged styles, making the post-race tasting a significant attraction.

Etown Trail Classic je trailový beh, ktorý sa beží v Nature Parku v Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Ide o jarnú akciu, kde sa beží na okruhy a podľa času. Môžeš si vybrať buď 5K trailový beh, 8-hodinový sólo vytrvalostný pretek, alebo 8-hodinovú štafetu. Tento formát sadne ako tým, čo si chcú len tak zľahka zabehnúť trail, tak aj bežcom, ktorí chcú za celý deň nazbierať poriadnu porciu kilometrov. Trať vedie popri jazere, prechádza lesnými cestičkami a nájdeš tam aj vlnité úseky po rôznych povrchoch, ako sú asfaltové chodníky a šotolinové cesty. Tí, čo idú 8-hodinovku, budú krúžiť od rána až do poobedia, pričom štafetové tímy si to rozdelia. Dobre zásobené občerstvovačky, super podpora od dobrovoľníkov a občerstvenie po pretekoch prispievajú k takej fajn atmosfére malého ultra komunitného zrazu, čo je úplne iné ako cestný beh, kde len raz prebehneš cieľom.
