Girls on the Run Central Kentucky 5K
Girls on the Run Central Kentucky 5K is a season closing celebratory event held at Keeneland in Lexington, KY on December 5, 2026. The 5K is the culmination of an eight week program and is intended to give program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment. Program participants and coaches are already registered through the council and do not need to register again.
The course length is 3.1 miles. The event is presented as a fun, celebratory occasion rather than a competitive race; the fastest participants finish in about 25 minutes while most finish between 30 and 50 minutes. Every registered participant who completes the 5K receives a commemorative medal.
The event welcomes family members, friends and community participants; non program attendees must register. Girls on the Run 5K events are accessible for people with disabilities and include designated parking. Participants may walk, run, roll or push at their own pace.
Safety and event logistics include required race bibs, a running buddy system, course monitoring and head counts, and a safety plan for staff and volunteers. Volunteers appointed through the council undergo background checks. The council offers merchandise for sale and on site activities such as face painting, happy hair stations, water stations and cheer stations. Registration pricing listed by the council includes early bird and general rates and increases for non program participants four weeks before the event.
