About this race

Lead sponsor First Merchants Bank

Brought to you by Leadership Harrison County

Course
Start Derby Day with a few furlongs of your own! Our annual race is back at the Fairgrounds and better than ever! Join us in Corydon for a morning of races on and off the horse track. Options include a Derby-distance (10 furlong/1.25 mile) race with prize money, a one-lap family fun run, youth and all-ages hobby horse races, and a community 5k. We're proud of the 5k course, which is a loop from the Fairgrounds, taking in Indian Creek Trail and historic downtown Corydon. It includes one big hill, a bit of gravel, a beautiful creekside trail, and some road running past the first state capitol back to the finish.

Awards – Top three males and females in the Leadership Derby will receive $50/$25/$10. Age group winners in the fun run and 5k receive an engraved "julep" glass and a Derby Day rose. Age groups are 0-12, 13-19, 20-39, 40-59, 60-69, and 70+.

Fees – Varies by race, with discounts for multiple events. T-shirt optional if registered by April 18th. Children 10 and under may participate in the 5k at no charge if accompanied by a responsible, paying participant.

5k course records
Women: Regina Hildenbrand-Moore 20:53.6 in 2026
Men: Justin Portukalian 17:49.3 in 2026
