Louisville Hero Run

Louisville Hero Run Join us on May 30, 2026 for the fifth annual Louisville H.E.R.O. (Honor Earned. Remembrance Owed) Run Our H.E.R.O. logo is a pair of boots with a poppy flower.

On September 27, 1920, the poppy became the official flower of The American Legion to memorialize the soldiers who fought and died during the war. In 1924, the distribution of poppies became a national program of The American Legion. The American Legion brought National Poppy Day® to the United States by asking Congress to designate the Friday before Memorial Day, as National Poppy Day.

We're close to wrapping up and feeling amazed by this year. If you would have told us at our inaugural race that by year 5 we'd have multiple running groups on the course, sell out three days before race day, and donate over $35,000 to our supported charities, we would have laughed hysterically.

It is astonishing to see hundreds of people gather to honor our service members who died in battle and those we lost at home to the psychological wounds of war. As President Truman said in 1945, "Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude." We feel privileged to have created an event where members of the community remember and honor our fallen heroes. I hope we remember and honor them daily ❤️

We'll see y'all in 2027!
