Distillery Dash Cross Country 5k/10k is a running race on July 24, 2026 in Lexington, KY, with entry fees from $45 to $55.
From the Organizer
The Distillery Dash is the first in a three part XC series collaborating with local distilleries, breweries and wineries! Sign up early for the lowest prices, and Run for Bourbon!
The Distillery Dash will feature a 5k and 10k cross-country race options at beautiful Masterson Station Park. All participants will receive a race t-shirt, finisher's award, and a bourbon tasting drink ticket.
Participants under 21 will receive all portions of the finisher award except for the tasting tickets.
The afterparty will run until 10:00 p.m., so hang around for music, bourbon tastings, drink sales, food trucks, and a great time! Register for all three races in the series for a special finisher's award at the end of the series!
The 5k will be open to walkers, but we will enforce a cutoff pace of 16 minutes/mile for the 10k due to concerns with sunset.
