About the Second Stride 5K and 2.5K Run/Walk at Claiborne Farm
The course runs across Claiborne Farm, a working thoroughbred operation outside Paris. The terrain rolls the way bluegrass pasture does, with gradual climbs and open stretches, and horses are visible in the fields nearby. The race benefits an organization that rehabs and rehomes retired racehorses, so the setting is directly tied to the cause.
Parking is on the farm itself in a grass field, with volunteers and signage to guide you in. The gates open an hour before the start, and carpooling is encouraged since space is limited. Dogs are not permitted on the property.
