Elizabethtown, KY

Registration openAnnual since at least 2025

About the Kentucky Nurses Association 5K Fun Run/Walk

The course runs through Freeman Lake Park, looping around the water so the lake stays in view for most of the route. The terrain is park paths, which keeps things accessible without being dull. The race is organized by a nursing association, so the crowd skews toward healthcare workers and the people who show up to cheer them on.

Packet pickup opens the morning of the race at the park, and on-site registration is available at the same time. Arriving a bit early gives you time to get sorted before the start.

Common Questions About the Kentucky Nurses Association 5K Fun Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Kentucky Nurses Association 5K Fun Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 43:42, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:15:22, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Kentucky Nurses Association 5K Fun Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (93 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Kentucky Nurses Association 5K Fun Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 21:07 while the median finisher took 43:42. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
