The Never Say Neigh-ver 5K is being hosted by our partners at Race Rise and Central Kentucky Race Management and will take place both in-person and virtually! The in-person race will take place on Sunday, July 14, 2024, but virtual runners are welcome to complete their race on their own time.
All participants will receive a finisher’s medal and commemorative t-shirt, but runners who complete their race in-person at the KHP will be eligible to receive top prizes from Breyer!
The in-person experience will also include chip timing, awards ceremony, a DJ spinning fun dance music, post-race snacks, and more! All ages and abilities are welcome!
For our younger in-person runners we are offering a special ¼ mile Kid’s Dash for children 8 and under and will take place right before the 5K kicks off. Prizes will be presented to the Top 6 finishers. This is a fun and energy boosting way to kick off the Never Say Neigh-ver 5K!
Packet pick-up and on-site registration for in-person runners will take place Saturday July 13th from 11 am to 3 pm in the Race Rise tent near the BreyerFest ticket booth and front gate, and just prior to the race on Sunday morning from 6:30 to 8 am at the Alltech Arena.
Sign up today before the in-person price increases after March 6th! Click here to register!
Our Top 6 overall finishers regardless of gender will receive the Traditional (1:9) scale Breyer Breeds Sporthorse model. Our overall awards are based on start gun time (first six finishers to cross the finish line).

A portion of the proceeds from the Never Say Neigh-ver 5K will benefit Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement. Founded in 2003 by former Boston Globe film critic Michael Blowen, Old Friends is a Thoroughbred Retirement Facility in Georgetown, KY that now cares for more than 250 horses whose racing and breeding careers came to an end.
A “living history museum of horse racing”, the farm attracts nearly 20,000 tourists annually that get up close and personal with such stars of the turf as 1997 Kentucky Derby winner Silver Charm, three-time Santa Anita Handicap victor Game on Dude, Belmont Stakes winners Birdstone, Touch Gold, and Sarava, and one-time Kentucky Derby contender Patch. By promoting these one-time celebrated horses through a campaign of education and tourism, Old Friends aims to draw attention to the need for widespread Thoroughbred aftercare. The farm is open to the public for tours Thursday - Sunday. Reservations are required. Book online at www.oldfriendsequine.org.
