KDVA (Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs) 5K

KDVA (Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs) 5K takes place in Louisville, Kentucky, on November 7, 2026. One format is offered, a 5K run and walk (3.1 miles) with a 9 a.m. start.

Nine in the morning is a comfortable gun time: enough of a lie-in to feel human, early enough to have the day back afterward. For a first 5K, aim for four weeks of running or run-walking three times a week and you will finish without drama. Runners chasing a time should treat 3.1 miles as an all-out but even effort, since going out fast over the opening half mile costs far more than it gains at a distance this short.
