UK5K presented by Kroger Simple Truth

Get ready to lace up and experience the thrill of the UK5K! Big Blue Nation is calling all runners and walkers to take part in a spectacular event where you'll zip past the University of Kentucky's most iconic athletic venues.

With the support of Kroger Simple Truth and UK Athletics, plus an inspiring push from the Girls on the Run program, this race is set to be a memorable Saturday morning. The young ones can join in too, with a special 100-yard dash at 8:30am before the main event at 9:00am on April 25, 2026. Don't miss out on your finishers medal and custom t-shirt—it's Big Blue excitement like no other!
