Lace up for a run that truly makes a difference at the seventh annual Reforest Frenzy, set to invigorate Hisle Farm Park in Lexington, KY, on Saturday, March 21, 2026. This unique event invites runners and walkers of all levels to participate in a 10K, 5K, or a spirited 1-Mile Dash, all while actively contributing to local environmental stewardship. The race proceeds directly fund the purchase of trees for the "Reforest the Bluegrass" initiative, an enduring program that has seen over 215,000 tree seedlings planted across Central Kentucky since 1999.
Runners will navigate the scenic, rolling trails of Hisle Farm Park, offering a picturesque glimpse of Kentucky's renowned horse farm country. The 10K distance challenges participants with two loops of the 5K course, promising an engaging experience amidst natural landscapes. While specific aid station details for the upcoming event are typically announced closer to race day, participants can anticipate common race amenities. Expect comfortable race day conditions with typical highs around 59F and lows near 38F, and a modest 15% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather.
What truly sets the Reforest Frenzy apart is its profound connection to nature; every participant receives a commemorative race shirt and the impactful option to take home a tree to plant or have one planted on their behalf during the larger Reforest the Bluegrass event. Organized by John's Bluegrass Racing Company, ASICS, and Lexington's Division of Environmental Services, the event kicks off at 8:00 AM EDT from Hisle Farm Park, fostering community spirit and a greener future with every stride.
