Nistar Blazing Kansas
BreyerFest is excited to welcome back Kansas who has a presence and personality bigger than he is!
Come Join the Fun!
We are celebrating ten years of BreyerFest 5Ks! The BreyerFest Bash Dash 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 13, 2025, but virtual runners are welcome to complete their race on their own time. All participants who register by the advertised deadline on RunSignUp.com 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 Younger Runners
For our younger in-person runners we are offering a special ¼ mile Kid’s Dash for children 8 and under that 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 BreyerFest Bash Dash 5K!
We can’t wait to see everyone there and all the fun you will have! Post your BreyerFest Bash Dash 5K selfies and photos to Breyer on the BreyerFest Official Facebook Page!
Packet pick-up and on-site registration for in-person runners will take place Saturday July 12th 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.
Jewels
Our Top 2 finishers in each gender category will receive the party-ready Jewels model, a Traditional (1:9) scale model. The iconic Fighting Stallion mold was sculpted by Chris Hess and has been in the Breyer lineup since 1961.
This model is the mold’s first edition with a rainbow coat and we are excited to offer this piece of Breyer history to our overall winners of this year’s 5K!
Red Velvet or Neopolitan
What is better when celebrating a birthday than cake and ice cream? The top 2 finishers in the below age groups in each gender category will each receive one randomly selected model – either Red Velvet or Neapolitan!
Both are Breyer Freedom Series (1:12) scale and are the perfect way to celebrate your finish! Age group awards are based on chip time (Elapsed time from when a runner crosses the starting line mat to when he/she crosses the finish mat).
Age Groups
9 and Under, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75 and Above
Race Swag
In-person and virtual runners will each receive a commemorative t-shirt and finisher’s medal as a part of their registration!
Old Friends
A portion of the proceeds from the Birthday Bash Dash 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
