Spencer County Octoberfest 5K takes place at 2 West Main Street in Taylorsville, Kentucky on September 29, 2026. Despite its name, the event offers a 1-mile running distance rather than a full 5K. The race starts at 6:15 PM, making it an evening event. Entry fees range from $15 to $35 depending on registration timing or category. This short-distance option works well for runners looking for a quick effort or those introducing themselves to organized racing. The Octoberfest setting suggests a festive atmosphere tied to the fall season, though the evening start means you'll want to plan travel and pre-race logistics accordingly. Taylorsville is in central Kentucky, making it accessible to athletes throughout the region.
