2024 Wildman Results

Next Race: September 20, 2025 – 7:30 am EDT

Can you outrun the Wildman? Encounter the lore for yourself as you race through the heart of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Experience the thrill of a pristine open-water lake swim, rolling green hills with distilleries dating back to the birthplace of America’s only spirit—Bourbon Whiskey—and an exciting and fun finish and post-race festival.

You’ll also race through the famed territories of the Wildman itself in historic Anderson County, where recorded sightings of a Bigfoot-like creature date back to the 1700s.

Race Highlights

• Swim through beautiful Taylorsville Lake, a pristine open-water plunge to start your race
• Bike through a stretch of rolling Bluegrass hills with picturesque farms — this course is definitely for the hill lovers and those looking for a true challenge
• Run along winding, tree-lined country roads where cows and sheep will cheer you on — this course is steep, train hills, hills, hills.
