About the Event

Test your resilience on the legendary and relentless single-track of Jefferson Memorial Forest with the Louisville Lovin' the Hills 50K on Saturday, February 7, 2026, an event renowned as one of the region's most demanding challenges. Born in 2004 from a runner's passion, this race weaves together the rugged Red, Blue, Yost, and Siltstone trails into a grueling three-part tour that demands respect from every participant. Embrace the tradition that has become a pivotal early-year goal for countless athletes, offering a powerful foundation of fitness and fortitude for the season ahead. Feel the community spirit at the pre-race pasta dinner and warm up in the Horine Center post-race with hot, homemade soup, sharing stories of your adventure.

Choose your challenge with the 15-miler or accessible 6-mile option, each delivering a true taste of these beloved hills and awarding every finisher a distinctive wooden medal. Amplify your year by completing the classic "Double" with the Land Between the Lakes race to earn a special commemorative award. This grassroots celebration, fueled by local support from Quest Outdoors, is more than a race—it's a rite of passage where runners fall in love with the hills, the effort, and the unforgettable camaraderie.
