HIKE!This year’s Hike will consist of a 4-mile walk with multiple marked turnaround points throughout. Travel from the Great Lawn and follow the Ohio River east to RiverPark Place and back. The furthest distance will cross the Big Four Bridge into Indiana and come back.
BIKE!
Participants can bike through downtown Louisville. The 1st 300 people who participate will get a New Bike Helmet courtesy of the Brain Injury Alliance of Kentucky. Check out the bike course below for the detailed route.
PADDLE!
Paddlers will have the option of launching at the Harbor Lawn or the U of L Boat Docks and paddle downstream to meet the other paddlers. This year’s paddle will go from the Harbor Lawn downriver to the McAlpine Locks, through the locks and to the Shawnee Park Boat Ramp. This year participants can rent a limited number of kayaks for FREE. Kayaks and all required equipment will be available on a first come first serve basis. Participants will have to sign a waiver and get instructed on water safety. Come to the event early and find a Shack Yaks trailer to secure your reservation.
Paddle Boards are allowed at the Mayor's Hike, Bike, & Paddle! The paddle boarders will need to completely step off their boards and onto one of the rescue boats when going through the McAlpine locks before we can lock the group down. No sitting down on the board is allowed, paddle boarders must be on the boat. Every single person will be required to wear a life jacket even if they are on a boat.
All paddlers must wear a life vest. Paddles without a vest will not be permitted to go through the McAlpine Locks.
