You've never seen horse country quite like this!

Get inspired by some truly great racers: the Triple Crown Trot 5K is a chip-timed road race* that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at world-famous Ashford Stud, home of Triple Crown champions American Pharoah and Justify.

Your race route runs entirely inside of Ashford Stud, taking you from the historic office and stallion barn to the foaling barn and beyond. With yearlings running in the paddocks along your path, you'll either be inspired to hit a new personal best - or you'll get some great selfies!

*Course is mainly paved road, but does include a stretch of grass path - see course map below

Either way, you'll be supporting a great cause: all proceeds benefit Woodford Humane Society and the animals who call it their temporary home.

Run or walk at your own pace - all experience levels welcome! We can accommodate strollers, however please note: the course includes a stretch of grass path as it has in previous years. If your stroller can handle it, so can we!

Race-Day Registration Opens at 7:00 am; Race Start is 8:00 am.

For the safety of the horses, this race cannot accommodate pets. Thanks for understanding!

Age Divisions: 0-9 | 10-14 | 15-19 | 20-29 | 30-39 | 40-49 | 50-59 | 60-69 | 70-79 | 80+

Medals will be awarded to the top 3 male and female finishers in each age group!

What is "Scratched"? Can't make it on race day but still want to support Woodford Humane and score a race shirt? Register as "Scratched" - you won't run the race, but you will get the goodies.

Shirts cannot be guaranteed after July 31. Register early for the best deal and all the perks!
