May 21, 2016 @ 7:00 am - 1:00 pm
The Horse Capital Marathon and Half-Marathon starts at the Fasig-Tipton on Newtown Pike at 7 am on Saturday, May 21.
“This race will be staged in Lexington, Kentucky, commonly referred to as the Horse Capital of the World. A portion of proceeds benefit Bluegrass Farms Charities.
The marathon will be a quasi-double loop course on rolling, scenic country roads, passing some 40-plus horse farms. In fact, runners are never out of view of a horse farm for the duration of the race. There will be a pace limit of 14 minutes, 30 seconds per mile (6 hour, 15 minute total time), and will be an officially certified course. Times will be submitted to the Boston Athletic Association for Boston Marathon qualifier status.
