We continue to have great things planned for you: new overall awards, another fun shirt design, kids 9 and under finisher medals, AND age group awards. It's everything you've come to expect from our event!
For 2023, we will again have a team option - create or join a team and win our largest team prize. Team participants must be registered by Wednesday, November 22 at 11:59PM to qualify. Get your family and friends to join in on the fun. Please note that in addition to our Registration Fee, RunSignUp charges a fee for using their service. You are charged one fee no matter how many people you register at once, so you can save a couple of dollars if you register everyone in your group/family at the same time.
Overall, Masters, Grand Masters, Seniors, and Age Group Awards will be presented. Turkey medals will be awarded to all children (ages 1-9) with an appropriate race bib. Stroller bibs ($5 untimed bib) are NOT eligible for a turkey medal.
While supplies last, registrants receive a commemorative long sleeve technical shirt. We will again offer youth-specific shirts while supplies last. If you want to make sure you get your preferred size, REGISTER EARLY! Please make your size selection carefully. There will be NO SHIRT EXCHANGES until after the conclusion of the race. Shirt sizing information and photos will be available on the race web page.
We again plan to provide an awesome premium to our first 1,000 participants who are 10 years or older -- a pair of PRO Compression brand technical running socks. BGR gets its own unique design each year! The socks are offered in S/M and L/XL sizes, with limited quantities of each size. Please arrive early for packet pick up for the best size selection. Sizing information is available on the race webpage.
NOTE: Because kids 9 and under receive finisher medals, they will not receive a pair of socks.
We understand that Thanksgiving is a family holiday and that for some families, they cannot participate without bringing their stroller or dog. Because these present unique safety considerations, especially in a race of this size, ALL participants must be registered. To provide the most enjoyable and safest race experience for everyone:
If you do not follow these, or any other rules, or do not purchase a bib, you will be removed from the course.
Untimed bibs must be purchased in addition to a regular participant's timed bib - that is, you cannot just purchase a stroller or dog bib and otherwise participate in the race.
NOTE: Stroller and dog bibs are untimed and do not qualify for turkey finisher medals, shirts, socks or any other race giveaways. Stroller and dog bibs do NOT qualify as a participant in the largest team competition.
Packet pickup will be held at Pivot Brewing (1400 Delaware Ave, Lexington, KY).
Keep an eye out for dates and times!
Registration is available at packet pickup.
Can't make it to packet pickup?
For the in person event we'll also have race day packet pickup starting at 7:30AM. We strongly encourage you to pick up your packet on one of the two packet pickup dates noted above if possible. If you choose race day pickup, please make sure to arrive at least one hour early to avoid traffic and parking delays.
For the virtual race, there is a mailing option during registration. Because we receive shirts close to the race date and shipping is always busier close to the holidays, mailed packets may not arrive until after Nov. 23.
Because we donate all proceeds to charity, there are no refunds, no exceptions. Thank you for supporting your local non-profits!
The Thoroughbred Classic is presented by Bluegrass Runners (www.bluegrassrunners.org) and will be chip timed by 3 Way Racing (www.3wayracing.com).
