Colonel Sanders 1/2 Marathon

The Colonel Sanders 10K Race is BACK and being held in conjunction with our annual Colonel Fest event! 

Corbin Tourism and Convention Commission and Corbin Parks and Recreation present the Colonel Sanders 10K Race!  Explore the city of Corbin on foot and pay tribute to Corbin's most famous citizen, Colonel Harland Sanders! 

The race will start and end on Depot Street in downtown Corbin. Route will encompass downtown and 4th and 5th Streets. There is a 2 hour time limit on the race. This is a hard cut off-at 2 hours the course will re-open to traffic and finish line will be taken down. Every effort will be made to ensure a closed course. 

Pre-race packet pick up will be at the newly renovated Harland Sanders Cafe and Museum located at 688 Hwy 25 West, Corbin, KY 40701 Friday April 19th from 5pm-8pm. Race day packet pick up will be at the starting line located at 101 N Depot Street Corbin, KY 40701 from 6:30am-7:30am. There will be no day of registration.
