Harrods Creek Trail Bash

Harrods Creek Trail Bash takes place in Prospect, Kentucky, on November 22, 2026, with two trail formats starting together at 9:00 AM: a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 10K (6.2 miles). The name points to Harrods Creek, and the event is listed as a trail race rather than a road race, so you should expect natural surfaces underfoot.

Trail running in late November means variable footing, and possibly fallen leaves hiding roots and rocks, so shoes with some grip are a sensible choice. The 5K is a good introduction to trail racing if you have only run on pavement so far; the 10K suits runners who already log some off-road miles and want a longer effort. Either way, plan to run by effort rather than by pace, since trail miles are slower than road miles. A few weeks of hilly or uneven-terrain runs before race day will make the difference on the climbs and descents.
