🚶‍♂️ Race Course

The first half of the half (the 10K portion) will all be on pavement/sidewalks and in the downtown area of Pikeville. Those who elect to do the half marathon will get to enjoy some "off-roading" and become a true "Hillbilly", because part of this route will take you through one of our beautiful trails. There will be challenging inclines, but there is no "hiking" type of terrain. The entire hill route is a wide path and is either paved, or gravel.

🎽 Participant Perks

  • Shirts: Each participant will receive a t-shirt or tank top.
  • Medals: A UNIQUE Hillbilly family member medal celebrating the addition of the half marathon.
  • Medal Series: This year's medal will be the 3rd in the Hillbilly Family medal series, featuring the Hillbilly baby.
  • Timing: The race will be timed, so hit the pavement at a nice and easy pace, or run yer hiney off!

👶 Kids Fun Run

We will be offering the kids fun run (it's free) and the 2 mile walk for 2025.
