Kentucky Half Marathons
The Kentucky Half Marathon Calendar is a complete simplistic listing of Kentucky half marathons. Currently the Kentucky half marathon schedule has 2026 Kentucky half marathons and 2027 Kentucky half marathons as they roll in. Kentucky half marathons 2026 & Kentucky half marathons 2027 also identify trail half marathons and walker friendly half marathons by a (T) symbol and a (W) symbol. The (T) means it is a TRUE trail half marathon 21k (off road, switchbacks, etc) and a (W) means it is truly "official walker friendly" requiring the half marathon to allow a minimum of 18:32 mile pace, minimum 4 hours for participants to finish the 13.1 mile distance.
The Kentucky half marathon calendar features a complete listing of Louisville half marathons, Bowling Green half marathons, Lexington half marathons, Radcliff half marathons, Owensboro half marathons, Elizabethtown half marathons, Paducha half marathons, and many more 1/2 marathons in KY.
