BIG LEX 4 Miler

Join us for the race that celebrates all that is great about Lexington!

Join us for the 9th Annual BIG LEX 4 Miler on Saturday, July 10, 2027 , at 8:00am at historic Keeneland Racecourse . 

Online registration will open on January 1, 2027 with our "Early Bird" registration special. 

The race is presented by VisitLEX and will be a celebration of all things Lexington as we officially kick off summer in the Bluegrass.  Our race will feature commemorative race shirts (Men's and Women's sizes available), a unique 4-mile route through the historic Keeneland grounds, overall and age group awards, DJ, free race photos and more.

In addition to the signature 4 Miler, we'll also have a 1 Mile Fun Walk, Little LEX Kids' 1/4 Mile Fun Run/Walk, and Virtual Runner/Walker opportunity.  Virtual runners/walkers make a donation to the race, and we will mail them their commemorative race shirt and bib.  This allows anyone anywhere to join in the fun!

PACKET PICKUP   We will conduct a PPU on Friday, July 9th from 4-6pm at J&H Running Company (197 Moore Drive, LEX, KY 40503). There will also be race morning PPU from 6:45-7:45am at Keeneland near our race Start/Finish area.

REFERRAL REWARDS    Refer 3 friends or family members who sign up for the race using the unique registration link you'll receive when you register and earn a $10 REFUND on your original registration.  It pays to refer friends to this race!

VIRTUAL RUNNER/WALKER OPTION   We are offering a virtual runner/walker option for those who cannot make the in-person race or choose not to participate at that time.  We'll plan both a local packet pickup and/or mail packets to those who choose to "go virtual" and live outside of Central Kentucky.

Our 2027 race charity beneficiary will be announced when we open online registration in the new year.
