Louisville Lovin' the Hills
Louisville Lovin' the Hills is a trail race held in Fairdale, KY on February 6, 2027, organized by Headfirst Performance. The event uses single track forest trails divided into named sections. The course layout combines several linked trails to form the different race distances.
After the race participants gather at the Horine Center near the start and finish area. The postrace setup includes hot homemade soup with meat and vegan options, donated prizes from Quest Outdoors, a wooden medal for each finisher, and additional swag such as hoorags for the first 200 registrants.
Packet pickup and a pasta dinner are provided before the race at Quest Outdoors. The pasta dinner is supplied by True Noth Catering and includes vegan and meat choices. Packet pickup is also available on race morning at the Horine Center.
The event has a history dating back to 2004 and has been held in multiple formats. Past editions were postponed when park conditions made that necessary; the park has final authority to approve event dates. Training runs are held each January in the weeks leading up to the race to help participants preview the course.
