Kentucky Derby Marathon
Course Information:

Runners in the Derby Festival Marathon will start their race at the same time and place - Southern Parkway near Iroquois Park - as miniMarathon participants.

The Marathon route will continue east on Breckinridge to Barret Avenue, through the Highlands area and Cherokee Park, along Cherokee Road to Baxter, Main, Campbell and River Road, eventually rejoining the mini route at 7th and Chestnut.
