We will mail out virtual packets to those who live outside of the Central Kentucky area. The registration fee for the virtual race (any distance) is $45.

Our race charitable beneficiaries will be New Vocations Racehorse Adoption. Read more about this worthy local charity below.

Our scenic half marathon course will traverse through beautiful horse country and past a number of our horse farms.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because our race starts and finishes on a horse farm, dogs are not allowed in this race as their presence could disturb the horses.

Commemorative long-sleeved shirts (men’s/women’s sized) are on a first come, first served basis. When you register if your size is not available, you can either select another size or “no shirt option” to SAVE $5.00. We will have a SHIRT SWAP immediately following the race for anyone who either did not receive a shirt or got a size that they would like to trade with another participant. If we have race no shows, their shirts will be available for swap following the race. There will be a 15 minute/mile (3:15 total time) pace limit imposed for the half marathon race per contract with the City of Lexington. Walkers and strollers are welcomed in the 10K and 5K races.
