Join us for the 2nd Annual BIG LEX 4 Miler on Saturday, August 29, 2020 at 8:00am at historic Keeneland Race Course. (The race was originally scheduled for Saturday, May 23, 2020 but has been postponed to the August date due to the COVID-19 pandemic and limitation on large group gatherings)
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!
REFERRAL REWARDS Refer 3 friends or family members who sign up for the race using the unique registration link you'll receive when you register and earn a $10 REFUND on your original registration. It pays to refer friends to this race!
TEAM PRICING Consider forming a team for our team competition. We'll have a prize for the largest team and for the "Fastest Four" (4 best/lowest times) for teams of 5 or more.

VIRTUAL RUNNER/WALKER OPTION We are offering a virtual runner/walker option for those who cannot make the August 29th date or choose not to participate at that time in an in person race. We'll plan both a local packet pickup and/or mail packets to those who choose to "go virtual" and live outside of Central Kentucky.
