Nancy, KY
The trails run through Pulaski County Park in the evening, which means you start in fading light and finish in the dark. The terrain is shaded and wooded, the kind of ground that rewards trail shoes with some grip. Several distance options are available, and the stage race strings them together into one long night out on the course.

The Sweaty Hooters Trail Runs and Stage Race has been held every year since at least 2017. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:05, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (55 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 5K winner ran 23:59 while the median finisher took 40:21. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
