Hoptown Half Marathon

The Hoptown Half Marathon and 5K, held annually in downtown Hopkinsville, Kentucky, offers both a certified half marathon and a 5K race, along with virtual race options. The scenic half marathon course features a route through downtown, residential neighborhoods, and the picturesque Christian County countryside, finishing on the Hopkinsville Greenway/Rail Trail. A unique highlight is the quarter-mile Rail Trail bridge, the longest non-water bridge span in Kentucky.

Participants receive a distinctive medal and a long-sleeve moisture-wicking performance shirt. Sponsored by Planters Bank and Jennie Stuart Health, the event showcases the charm and hospitality of western Kentucky, making it a popular race for runners of various ages and abilities.
