Presenting the 2026 GenesisHR Battlegreen Run
This annual tradition is celebrated by the local community for both the spirit of the event and the incredible fundraising achieved by participants for local nonprofits.
We will run as a community on Sunday, November 1st @ 12:15 PM to raise money for a number of deserving nonprofits. Choose from a 5K walk, 2k walk, 5K run or (almost)10K run….OK it’s only 9.857k…we just want to start and end in the same place. If you prefer to maintain social distancing or just can’t make it to Lexington on race day you can participate virtually.
