Join the BreyerFest 5k!

As we're getting nearer to BreyerFest we wanted to check in on our BreyerFest 5K Runners!

You might remember that the race raises money for Old Friends, a Thoroughbred Retirement Facility in nearby Georgetown. Old Friends was founded by the former Boston Globe critic Michael Blowen in 2003 and they know care for more than 155 horses whose racing and breeding careers came to an end.

The farm welcomes 20,000 tourists each year and the farm is open for daily tours. You can make reservations by calling (502) 863-1775. You'll see famous (and familiar) faces like the 1997 Kentucky Derby winner Silver Charm, three-time Santa Anita Handicap victor Game on Dude, Breeders' Cup Sprint Champion Gulch and Breeders' Cup Classic winner Alphabet Soup.You can learn more about Old Friends here.

If you haven't signed up yet there are still spaces available for both in-person and virtual runners. The BreyerFest 5K is hosted by our friends at 3 Way Racing and is sure to be a fun way to start your morning. Race Day will feature a DJ, fun prizes for our race winners, and fan favorite Lil' Ricky Rocker leading our runners! You can read more about the race here and sign up here.

All our runners will receive this beautiful BreyerFest Off to the Races 5K finisher's medal! So lace up your gym shoes and good luck to all of our runners!
