We're getting ready for the 14th Annual Renfro Rock 'N Run Half Marathon and 5K Run/Walk! The Renfro Rock 'N Run Half Marathon has a tradition of being one of Kentucky’s most unique and fun races.
Renfro Valley, Kentucky, home of the world-famous entertainment center and the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame, is known for its music, from Bluegrass to classic country to rock. Rockcastle County is home to rock-solid, enthusiastic folks who like to run and dare you to keep up. At the Rock 'N Run, they share the road, and their countryside, with you.
You’ll dash past rustic cabins, trot alongside a beautiful lake, and pass through some of Kentucky’s prettiest farmscapes. And this year, we invite you to don your best 80s music costume - think Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Def Leppard, Reba McEntire. It's all part of the fun!
The Renfro Rock 'N Run is part of the Rockcastle Regional Countywide Stride run/walk series, and national Program of Excellence Award winner.
So, come on, y’all, Rock 'N Run!
