About this race

The Bluegrass 10,000 and Fun Run Push Rim, held annually on July 4th in Lexington, Kentucky, is a well-established community event with a rich history dating back several decades. This patriotic race is designed to accommodate a wide range of participants, featuring both a competitive 10,000-meter race and a shorter, more accessible Fun Run. A key characteristic of this event is its inclusivity, explicitly welcoming participants who use push rim wheelchairs, ensuring a race for all abilities. Participants can anticipate a scenic and generally flat course that winds through Lexington, offering a glimpse of the city's charm. The terrain is primarily paved roads, making for a fast and smooth running experience.
