St. Jerome Fancy Farm Picnic 5K
The St. Jerome Fancy Farm Picnic 5K is a running event held in Fancy Farm, Kentucky. The race follows an out and back course that includes a long hill located shortly after the turnaround point. Participants pass through areas where spectators gather to cheer, particularly during the first and last mile of the route.
The event provides several support stations along the course offering water. After finishing the race, fresh fruit and cold sports drinks are provided to runners. Registration takes place at the event location, where participants receive a race bib and a commemorative t-shirt. While all pre-registered participants are guaranteed a shirt, those who register on the day of the event receive them based on remaining availability.
Scheduled distances for the event include:
- 5 km running race
- 1 mile run for children
The 1 mile children's race takes place in front of the St. Jerome Church and cemetery. Due to this shorter race, Highway 339 North of Fancy Farm is subject to temporary closures. Visitors arriving during this time are directed to use Highway 80 from Mayfield or Carlisle County to enter the town. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
