The Urban Bourbon Half Marathon will return to the streets of Louisville Saturday.
The scenic 13.1-mile race will take runners through the city’s Cherokee Park before they cross the finish line downtown with an Urban Bourbon Bash on Fourth Street Live! , according to the event’s website.
While runners from across the city and beyond will enjoy the race, the “experiential destination event” may cause some headaches for area locals trying to navigate the streets of downtown Louisville and surrounding neighborhoods.
Here’s what we know about the schedule, road closures and parking restrictions ahead of race day.
