Come support the community of Portland as we kick off this year's Art & Heritage Fair with a family-friendly fun walk/run . It won’t even be a full 5k- anyone can do it! We are excited to partner with Sprak Skateboarding and the Louisville Free Public Library for a very fun after party. There will be snacks, music, skateboarding demonstrations, and books! The event will take place in Lannan Park, including a trek over the bridge to Shippingport Island. All proceeds will go back to the community to support local initiatives through the Portland Museum. Only $4.99 (almost $5) for every participant! Packet pick up will take place on the morning of the race.

Course & Travel Notes

The Portland (Almost) 5K takes place at an elevation of 472 feet, which is low enough that most runners won't need significant pacing adjustments for altitude. Sunrise occurs at 7:34 AM on race day, well before the 9:30 AM start time, so you'll have good daylight for your warm-up. September weather in Louisville typically features highs around 82°F and lows near 62°F, with about a 25% chance of measurable rain, so prepare layers and consider rain gear just in case. The nearest airport is Bowman Field (LOU), located just 5.5 miles from the venue, making for an easy transfer to the race site.
