2023 Commemorative Beer

This year we are excited to introduce in collaboration with Country Boy Brewing, the Ladder One Lager.   This beer will be sold in a VERY LIMITED quantity for this race only.  Proceeds will go towards the Toys for Tots of Central Kentucky.   We will have a new beer and can for each year moving forward, so for those of you that love to collect the swag, this one is legit!
This awesome design came straight from one of Georgetown Fire Departments bravest, Cam Montgomery.  Contact Cam for any graphic design work you need done, and support on of your local public servants.

SWAG!!!

We have some AWESOME race tee shirts this year with a new logo for 2023!! 
These long-sleeve tech shirts are going to be the coolest shirt in your race closet!  
I can't wait to see everyone sporting this on race day!

Finisher Prizes

Last years "Top Finisher" awards were awesome, and we plan on something even more unique this year... Stay tuned for updates on what we have in store for this year!  

Toys for Tots --- Our Partner Charity Beneficiary

Toys for Tots is a cherished organization among the firefighters.  We care deeply about the kids in our community, and this is one of the major ways we can give back.  Toys for Tots is run by the Marine Corps and seeks to make sure that every child, no matter what their circumstances, gets toys for Christmas.  

You can help fulfill that goal by bringing in new toys and help us "Fill an Ambulance" with toys.  You can also choose to donate when you register for the race and every cent will go toward the local chapter helping the kids right here in our community.  

We appreciate your support!

Country Boy Brewing - THANK YOU!!!

We are honored to be have a loyal partnership with Country Boy Brewing.  They have been supporters of this race since the inception, and continue to show us so much love each and every year.   Thank you!   
So, come out, run your race, and enjoy a cold brew in their taproom or on the patio.  The UK vs. Louisville game is later in the afternoon so maybe make a day of it after the race.  Country Boy is a big supporter of the local community!

Course Description

This course begins at Country Boy Brewing - Georgetown Taphouse and continues on paved roads.  As you leave the parking lot, you will pass under two extended ladder trucks from the Scott County and Georgetown Fire Departments.  From there you will continue onto closed paved roads and meander around a loop where you will catch a glimpse of the Toyota Motor Manufacturing facility.  The halfway mark is next to Country Boy Brewing Taphouse where you will have a water station before you turnaround and head back the way you came.  This is a great place for family and friends to spectate, cheer you on, (or bring you a cold beer from the Taphouse).
