Lexington-Fayette, KY

Lexington sits in the Bluegrass region at roughly 280m elevation with mostly rolling terrain ideal for steady long runs. The Cupcake Classic 3K and Pace in Parks! 10K anchor the local running calendar, with predictable spring and fall weather making the city a reliable training base. Cyclists benefit from the Road to Nationals 106km event and the gently undulating rural routes through horse country within 15km of downtown, though serious elevation comes only beyond 50km south toward the Daniel Boone National Forest.
