About the Blue Grass Veterans 5k
The course goes out along old Highway Sixty-One and back, starting and finishing at the American Legion post. The terrain is mostly flat with a turnaround partway out. Beyond the run, there is also a timed ruck option with whatever pack weight you choose, and a shorter walk open to families and leashed dogs.
Packet pickup runs the evening before and again race morning, both at the post. After the race, chili is waiting inside. The event is organized by the local American Legion post, with proceeds going toward programs supporting local children, youth, and veterans.
