The second annual Louisville Sports Commission Half Marathon/Pure Tap 5K was held Nov. 3. Professional and amateur runners and walkers participated in the race, which started and finished in downtown Louisville, winding its way through the Highlands, historic Olmsted parks and the eclectic NuLu section of East Market Street.
The event was presented by Humana Vitality and Louisville Pure Tap, and was held in partnership with numerous local, not-for-profit and civic agencies and organizations in an effort to promote healthy lifestyles in our community. One hundred percent of all proceeds will go toward attracting more sporting events to Louisville.
