Race morning, KCRS style.

Whether you raced, ran for fun, cheered, volunteered, or just got some miles in this morning, we want to hear about it.

Flashback Friday from last year’s Parklands 5K. 🤩 Tomorrow, runners and walkers are back at Beckley Creek Park for the & 5K Run/Walk. A scenic course, a great cause, and one of Louisville’s favorite places to log miles.

Meet our newest KCRS Ambassador, Jessica Brummett!

Jessica has been running since middle school, when she got talked into joining track after running the mile in gym class and beating everyone. She went on to run college cross country and track, and now she’s a regular at our Tuesday Track Night.

Her favorite thing about running is the way it brings her peace, gives her a healthy outlet for her competitive side, and connects her with such an open, welcoming community.

Her go-to training shoe? The ASICS GEL-Nimbus, which she’s been running in since college. For racing, she’s been loving the Brooks Hyperion Max 2, but she may be on the hunt for a new race day shoe soon.

You can often find Jessica running the hills at Cherokee or Iroquois, soaking up a good challenge. Outside of running, she’s an animal nerd, a David Attenborough fan, a beach-from-sunup-to-sundown kind of person, and dog mom to three pups with her husband of 13 years.

We’re so excited to have Jessica representing KCRS and our running community.

Help us welcome Jessica in the comments!

Happy Global Running Day, Louisville.

Around here, running is about so much more than miles. It’s the friends, the pacers, the post-run laughs, the race-day hugs, and the people who make every run feel a little more fun.
