Hoptown Half Marathon

The Hoptown Half Marathon and 5K is an annual road race held in downtown Hopkinsville, Kentucky, with the 7th edition scheduled for October 18, 2025. The event features both a half marathon and a 5K race, along with virtual options for each distance. The courses start and finish at the Christian County Justice Center and showcase a scenic route through downtown, residential neighborhoods, and the picturesque Christian County countryside.

A unique highlight of the half marathon course is the quarter-mile Rail Trail bridge, the longest non-water bridge span in Kentucky. Participants receive a medal and a long-sleeve moisture-wicking performance shirt. The race celebrates the charm and hospitality of western Kentucky.
