About the race
The FeedTheKids 3K is a community race at Wellington Park in Lexington, presented as a fundraising event for the Dahlhus Fund through the Bluegrass Community Foundation. The event includes a chip-timed 3K (1.86 miles) on paved park trails, a free Kid's Dash for children age 7 and under, and a virtual 3K option with mailed commemorative race T-shirts for virtual registrants.
Awards are given for Top 3 male and female overall and Top 3 male and female in 5-year age groups. Kid participants in the dash receive a participation medal; a shirt for children is available for an additional fee. Event features include commemorative race T-shirts while supplies last, free race photos, a finish line photo contest, on-site entertainment with a DJ, and Dahlhus Fudge for participants.
Proceeds support the Dahlhus Fund, which works to pay off student lunch debts for Fayette County Public Schools; the event materials note local student lunch debt figures and past fundraising grants. Packet pickup is available the day before at a local running store and on race morning at the park pavilion. Volunteer roles are listed, with 8 to 10 volunteers needed for three-hour shifts; volunteers receive fudge and a commemorative T-shirt. A post-race celebration is hosted at Mirror Twin Brewing where bib holders 21 and older receive a free beer. Title sponsors are listed for the event.
