Wilderness Road Marathon

The Wilderness Road Marathon and Half Marathon take place in Stanford, Kentucky, offering three race options: the marathon, the half marathon, and a 10K. The out-and-back course starts and finishes in downtown Stanford and travels along the Historic Wilderness Road, tracing the era of westward expansion. The event is presented as an inaugural celebration of Stanford’s 250th anniversary, inviting runners to experience a historically rich setting as they follow in the footsteps of early Kentucky figures.

Proceeds benefit the William Whitley House Endowment, and participation is capped at 250 runners, creating a small, intimate racing atmosphere on a storied route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
