Ridge Runners Racing proudly presents the 2nd Annual Little Rooster Kids Fun Run, 5K Trail and Mini Barnyard Ultra Trail. The event will take place on Friday, October 16, 2026 at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds and Park in Glencoe, Kentucky. Nestled between interstates I-71 and I-75, this quaint rural farming community is easily accessible from Cincinnati (30 minutes), Lexington (45 minutes), and Louisville (60 minutes). Visitors will feel as if they’ve stepped back in time as they enjoy the small town vibe Glencoe has to offer. Plan on making it a “runcation” and check out the many accommodations and attractions within minutes of the event site. The Little Rooster Kids Fun Run 1/2 mile will be offered for kids 10 & under at 5:30 PM, so plan on bringing the kids to join in the fun! A 5K trail race will follow at 6:00 PM. Walkers are welcome as this race has a generous 2 hour cut-off. The Mini Barnyard Ultra Trail starts at 8:00 PM and is a “last runner standing” event. Last year the race lasted 14 hours before Chris Emberton of Elizabethtown, KY was declared the winner after completing 28 laps (58.33 miles).
The first place male and female will receive a unique Little Rooster Kids Fun Run award. All Kids Fun Run participants will receive a special 3-D printed memento for participating in the event at the end of the finish chute. Little Rooster Run 5K finishers will receive a unique event memento at the end of the finish chute. An awards ceremony recognizing the overall and age group winners in both male and female divisions will take place at the Awards Wagon in front of the Pavilion (large shelter)
