Reforest 5k

Run with us to help Reforest the Bluegrass!

John’s Run/Walk Shop and Lexington’s Division of Environmental Services present the sixth annual Reforest 5K at Hisle Farm Park. Race proceeds will help raise money to purchase trees for this year’s Reforest the Bluegrass in April. With your help, we hope to plant hundreds of trees after the race at home and thousands more during Reforest the Bluegrass.

All race participants will receive sustainability swag from Live Green Lexington, a Reforest 5k shirt, and the option to take a tree to plant at home after their run or walk. Participants can also choose to have their tree planted on their behalf at a 2024 Reforest the Bluegrass event. 

New in 2024: Yoga for Runners

Running is a great activity, but it's even more beneficial when you add in stretching and mindfulness. That's why we've teamed up with Creative Yoga to offer Yoga for Runners classes leading up to the Reforest 5K.

On March 3, 10, and 17, you can attend a yoga class geared specifically for enhancing your 5K experience. Each class will be offered to Reforest 5K participants at a discounted rate of $25 per class. Sign up for all three classes plus the race to be eligible for prizes.

Due to the charitable nature of the Reforest 5K, we do not chip time this race in an effort to increase our donation to Reforest the Bluegrass. Participants will still be given a result, though it will be hand-timed by the John's Bluegrass Racing Team.
