John’s Run/Walk Shop’s FREE Community 5Ks

John’s Run/Walk Shop offers free community 5Ks in the Hamburg area of Lexington, Kentucky. These events take place at 7:30 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month. Check-in is at the shop’s booth in the parking lot at 3090 Helmsdale Place. Participants simply show up, check in before the start, and join a short community run or walk; all paces are welcome. The course is kept simple, aligning with John’s regular Saturday morning Hamburg group run/walk. A timing clock is available for those who wish to track their progress, avoiding a formal race-day atmosphere. Snacks and water are provided afterward, contributing to a neighborhood training meet-up feel rather than a paid event.
