Run/Walks On The Keeneland Grounds


Keeneland's founders intended it to be a gathering place for the entire community. It is with this vision that Keeneland uses its grounds year-round for worthy community, fan development and tourism initiatives. Each year, Keeneland is home to numerous Run/Walks, raising funds and awareness for local charities. As many as 15,000 people participate in Run/Walks at Keeneland and raises nearly $1,000,000 annually.

UK HealthCare is a proud partner of Keeneland’s Run Walks. Keeneland and UK HealthCare share a commitment to support the communities they serve through education, philanthropy and community engagement.
