CHARITY INFORMATION
All proceeds from the #FEEDTHEKIDS 5k will be donated to the Dahlhus Fund, a nonprofit fund through the Bluegrass Community Foundation that aims to pay off all of the student lunch debts for Fayette County Public Schools students. LEARN MORE/DONATE
Did you know that 1 in 4 public school students in the Commonwealth experience food insecurity? During the 2024-25 school year, student lunch debt for Fayette County students topped $35,000. Through fundraising efforts, the Dahlhus Fund was able to issue a grand of $13,000 towards that debt at the end of the '25 school year and aims to pay the entire lunch debt at the end of the 2025-26 year no matter what that amount is.
MIRROR TWIN BREWING AFTER PARTY/CELEBRATION
The after race after party will be at Mirror Twin Brewing's Annex (730 National Avenue 40502) starting at 10:30am. Anyone who brings their race bib to the after party will get a free beer. Brunch is also available for purchase from Rolling Oven Pizza.
