I did this race for the first time in 2016 and will probably be back to do it again. It is the largest 5K I have run to date, but it was better organized than some of the smaller ones I've run. Parking is easy because Keeneland is ready for that kind of a crowd. The course is pretty and not too hilly. The start is organized by expected time to finish so you can (kind of) avoid spending your first mile dodging slower folks or being dodged constantly. I like that dogs are allowed, but I think that people with dogs/strollers should start 5-10 minutes later than people without. Many of them are faster than the runners ahead and end up catching up quickly if they start at the same time, but at the back of the pack. Maybe walkers could start with them, too, to avoid getting caught up to?

In any case, I enjoyed this race.
