This isn’t your standard road race. Our unique, behind-the-scenes 5K course will take you on a scenic route through the historic Ellis Park grounds. You will run past the paddocks, take in the beautiful facility, and experience the ultimate thrill: crossing the finish line right on the main dirt race track! The Kids Dash (Featuring the Inflatable Pony!) Bring the whole family! We are hosting a special Kids Dash for our younger runners – 12 and under. To make it extra memorable, the dash will feature a hilariously fun inflatable pony!
