5K Results


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 Kentucky Horse Council are deeply indebted to RaceRise 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
