Lexington Equine Medical Group Hunter Pace & 5K

🎉The results of the Lexington Equine Medical Group Hunter Pace and 5K are IN! 🎉

We are so deeply thankful to everyone who came out to run the second annual Lexington Equine Medical Group 5K at the Park – what fun it was! Led by two riders on horseback (Maranda on Tigger and Louise on Wotsit), runners traversed a fabulous trail course at the Kentucky Horse Park – they were encouraged to jump some of the jumps, as well!

While many thank yous are in order, LEMG and the KHC are deeply indebted to GoRaceRise and Bob Baney, who gamely took our ideas (including being led by horses) and turned it into reality.  We are SO thankful for you! 💕

🥇Top Overall Male Finisher: Giovanni Cruz Mojica

🥇Top Overall Female Finisher: Virginia Bibb Golden

A plethora of other awards were handed out – click here to see them all!

 🎊Congratulations to every person who ran and walked this 5K – and THANK YOU for your dedication to supporting Kentucky horses.
