UK Horsey Hustle 5K Run/Walk
The UK Horsey Hustle 5K Run/Walk is an annual event held in Lexington, Kentucky. Organized by UK Ag Equine Programs and the AFE 300 Equine Event Planning Class, this event returns for its fifth edition at 1850 Pisacano Drive. The gathering serves as a community event where participants can complete the course by running or walking.
The event offers several participation options:
- 5k Run/Walk
- Virtual 5k
- Student Rate 5k
- Group Rate 5k (minimum of 4 people)
The race is followed by family friendly activities on the grounds. Participants are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets for the post-race session. The course map is available for participants to review in advance, and official awards are announced following the completion of the run and walk.
Proceeds from the event go toward the UK Ag Equine Programs' Student Experience and Applied Education Fund, as well as equine-focused clubs and teams. This fund provides financial support for students at the University of Kentucky to pursue academic and recreational horse-related experiences through various extracurricular activities. The event is supported by several local sponsors from the equine and racing industry. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
