Nazareth 5K

Peace, Love and Tie-Dye

May 16, 2026

Nazareth, KY 40048

Nazareth is home to the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. For many, it is sacred ground. The campus includes rolling hills, wooded areas and historic buildings. The spires of St. Vincent de Paul Church rise at the entrance and welcome all who arrive.

The 3.1-mile course guides participants across the Nazareth campus, along wooded trails and around the lakes. Runners and walkers will pass the Nazareth Motherhouse and see how the Sisters serve today. Each registration supports this work and helps respond to urgent needs around the world.

In 2026, the Nazareth 5K will benefit a ministry of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth that offers a nature based summer day camp for children. Campers explore the outdoors, learn about the natural world, practice reflection and meditation, and take part in creative activities that support their growth.

Participants who register by April 20 are guaranteed a T-shirt.

Awards

Awards will be given to the first, second and third place male and female overall finishers. Awards will also be presented to the top male and female finishers in the following age categories:

• 10 and Under

• 18-59

Runners and walkers are welcome! Join us to explore nature and the beautiful Loretto Motherhouse property in this exciting event. The course will take participants through woodlands, around lakes, through grassy trails, and along graveled paths lined with cattle. The course includes some incline and uneven ground. Sign Up early to receive a complementary race t-shirt.

There will be a coffee/breakfast food truck on site to purchase refreshments, as well as educational booths and activities. Walkers are welcome! For the safety of everyone, no dogs on the course please. All funds raised support the missions of the Loretto Community at the Loretto Motherhouse.
