Lace up for a meaningful stride at the 5th Annual Run Baby Run 5K, set to take place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, in the picturesque Coldstream Park of Northwest Lexington, Kentucky. This inspiring event offers participants a chance to make a profound difference, with all proceeds benefiting NICU babies through the Snow Bunny Baby Project. Whether you're a seasoned runner chasing a personal best or looking for a fun walk with family, this race promises an engaging atmosphere with "food, fun, and fellowship" for all involved.

The 5K course is renowned for its flat and fast profile, guiding runners along the scenic concrete Legacy Trail, making it ideal for achieving quick times or enjoying a leisurely pace. Typical race day conditions in late September in Lexington offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 78°F and lows around 56°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation. Beyond the main 3.1-mile event, the Run Baby Run 5K welcomes the youngest athletes with a lively 1/4 mile Kid's Dash, ensuring a race experience for every age and ability. For those unable to join in person, a virtual participation option allows runners to contribute and complete their distance from anywhere.

Participants can look forward to a well-organized event that includes chip timing for accurate results and complimentary race photos to capture your memorable moments. Awards will be presented to the top three male and female overall finishers, as well as age group winners in five-year divisions, and a special prize awaits the largest social team, encouraging camaraderie and community spirit.
