Description
!!! WEATHER PLAN !!!
We are Trotting rain or shine! Please keep an eye on the forecast and plan accordingly. In the event of thunderstorms we will delay our start by 30 minutes after the latest flash of lightning and repeat as needed.
We will do everything in our power to make the Triple Crown Trot happen; however, if we are forced to cancel no refunds will be given. Due to the complex logistics of our hosts at Ashford Stud and our team at Woodford Humane, we are not able to reschedule this race.
The Triple Crown Trot 5K returns to Ashford Stud August 17, 2024!
You've never seen horse country quite like this! Get inspired by some truly great racers: the Triple Crown Trot 5K is a chip-timed road race* that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at world-famous Ashford Stud, home of Triple Crown champions American Pharoah and Justify.
Your race route runs entirely inside of Ashford Stud, taking you from the historic office and stallion barn to the foaling barn and beyond. With yearlings running in the paddocks along your path, you'll either be inspired to hit a new personal best - or you'll get some great selfies!
Either way, you'll be supporting a great cause: all proceeds benefit Woodford Humane Society and the animals who call it their temporary home.
Run or walk at your own pace - all experience levels welcome! We can accommodate strollers, however please note: the course includes a short stretch of grass path as it has in previous years. If your stroller can handle it, so can we!
Race-Day Registration Opens at 7:00 am; Race Start is 8:00 am.
For the safety of the horses, this race cannot accommodate pets. Thanks for understanding!
Age Divisions: 0-9 | 10-14 | 15-19 | 20-29 | 30-39 | 40-49 | 50-59 | 60-69 | 70-79 | 80+
Medals will be awarded to the top 3 male and female finishers in each age group!

We'll also be giving away some team prizes this year for Biggest Team ($100 Papa Johns gift card!) and Best Team Name ($100 Nothing Bundt Cakes gift card!) - because Trotting is more fun with friends!
