Event Description

Join us for the race that celebrates all that is great about Lexington!

The inaugural BIG LEX 4 Miler will take place on Saturday, May 25, 2019 at 8:30am at historic Keeneland Race Course.

The race will be a celebration of all things Lexington as we officially kick off summer in the Bluegrass.  Our race will feature commemorative race shirts (Men's and Women's sizes available), a unique (Never run previously) 4 mile race course through the historic Keeneland grounds, an exciting team competition, overall and age group awards, post race massage, DJ James Hummel (Freestyle Entertainment) and an awesome post race celebration.

In addition to the signature 4 Miler we'll also have a 1 Mile Fun Walk, Little LEX Kids 1K Run/Walk and Virtual Runner/Walker opportunity.  Virtual runners/walkers make a donation to the race and we will mail them their commemorative race shirt and bib.  This allows anyone anywhere to join in the fun!

Old Friends provides a dignified retirement to Thoroughbreds whose racing and breeding careers have come to an end. By promoting these one-time celebrated horses through a campaign of education and tourism, we hope to raise awareness of  all equines in need.
