About the The Lucky Leprechaun Half Marathon
Central Kentucky runners treat this early March half as the tune up before Run the Bluegrass, the Derby races, and the Flying Pig. Entry fees benefit the Foster Care Council of Kentucky and Woodford Humane Society.
Course
The loop leaves Falling Springs Recreation Center and runs paved country roads past horse farms and stone fences. Woodford County rolls rather than sits flat, so the profile is gently undulating throughout.
Race-day weather
Early March in central Kentucky can hand runners anything from frost to 60 degrees. Wind across open farmland is the usual complication on the exposed road sections.
