Lace up for a race that gives back to the planet at the Reforest 5K, also known as the Reforest Frenzy, on March 21, 2026, in Lexington, KY. This inspiring event, held at the scenic Hisle Farm Park, offers participants a choice of a 1M, 5K, or 10K distance, with the 10K course comprising two laps of the 5K route. Runners can expect typical race day conditions to be crisp, with historical highs around 59F and lows near 38F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather. Starting at 8:00 AM, the race is a perfect blend of fitness and environmental stewardship.

What truly sets the Reforest Frenzy apart is its profound dedication to reforestation efforts. Presented by John's Run/Walk Shop, ASICS, and Lexington's Division of Environmental Services, all race proceeds directly support the Reforest the Bluegrass program, which has planted over 215,000 tree seedlings since 1999. As a unique thank you for your participation, every runner receives an eco-friendly shirt made from recycled materials and the special option to take home a tree seedling to plant or have one planted on their behalf. The race is hand-timed to ensure more funds are directed towards tree-planting, maximizing your green impact.

Runners looking to make a difference will appreciate this community-focused event at Hisle Farm Park. Packet pickup is conveniently available the week before the race at John's Run/Walk Shop in Chevy Chase, or on race morning starting at 7:00 AM at the park. Beyond the run, participants can contribute further by bringing old running shoes and race shirts for recycling, making the Reforest 5K a truly sustainable and impactful experience for all.
