Description
Bluegrass Runners is a non-profit organization based in Lexington, KY, devoted to promoting fitness, fellowship, and fun for runners of all ages and abilities. Every Thanksgiving, we put on the Thoroughbred Classic 5K and Kay Collins Memorial Mile. Through the 35+ years of hosting this race, BGR has raised and donated over $300,000 to local charities.
Bluegrass Runners also hosts the Survive the Night Relays in June, featuring a relay marathon a relay 140+ mile triathlon, and the Bluegrass Mile at the Redmile race track in October.
