Distillery Dash Cross Country 10k
Lexington, United States • 24 Jul 2026
Distillery Dash Cross Country 5k/10k - Lexington, KY
The Distillery Dash Cross Country event on July 24, 2026 offers two off-road race distances at Masterson Station Park in Lexington, Kentucky. The event is the first in a three-part cross-country series that collaborates with local distilleries, breweries and wineries and is presented by John’s Bluegrass Racing Company with sponsorship from Diadora.
Race options include:
- 5k Cross Country Race
- 10k Cross Country Race
All participants receive a race t-shirt and a finisher's award. Registered runners also receive a bourbon tasting drink ticket; participants under 21 receive the other portions of the finisher award but not the tasting ticket. The 5k is open to walkers. The 10k will enforce a cutoff pace of 16 minutes per mile because of concerns with sunset.
Packet pickup is available prior to race day at John’s Run/Walk Shop (317 S. Ashland Ave, Lexington) on the Wednesday and Thursday before the race, and race-day packet pickup is at the Masterson Station Fairgrounds. An afterparty runs into the evening and includes music, bourbon tastings, drink sales, and food trucks. The event is part of the Central Kentucky Beer, Bourbon & Wine Cross Country Series and offers a special finisher's award for those who complete all three races.
