Thoroughbred Classic 5K

Every Thanksgiving morning, runners and walkers from across the country come to Lexington, Kentucky, to take part in the Thoroughbred Classic 5K. Organized by Bluegrass Runners, the Thoroughbred Classic is a family-friendly event that benefits several local charities. We continue to be able to make an amazing amount of donations to local charities, typically over $40,000! The first 1000 people to register get a pair of Pro Compression socks with an exclusive Bluegrass Runners design, and kids 9 and under get a finisher medal. Back by popular demand, this year’s race also includes a virtual event.
