Who Benefits From our Run?

This race provides funding for our vision of service in Lexington and the surrounding bluegrass community, including:

 

Race Day Registration

Registration opens at 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM start time.  Registration ends 10 minutes before start time. We will have paper registration forms, if necessary, but the easiest and quickest way to register is online.  Registration can easily be done on your phone on race day.  

 

Packet Pickup

We plan for an early packet pickup at Fleet Feet Lexington located at The Summit at Fritz Farm in South Lexington (Address:  4084 Finn Way Suite 140, Lexington, KY 40517). More information when it gets closer to race day.  
There will also be race morning PPU beginning at 7:30am at Masterson Station Park.  Tee shirts, bibs and goodie bags will be waiting for you at the registration table.  

 

Coffee and Doughnuts

Nothing goes better with the crisp clean air of a bluegrass Kentucky spring morning than a cup of coffee and a doughnut, or banana if you prefer.  

 

Join a Team and Save

At registration time you will have the opportunity to join a Vision Team with your friends and fellow runners or create your own Vision Team and invite your friends to join. 
You can easily create a team when you register, give it a fun name, then invite your friends, family, co-workers, etc. to join your team.  Teams can be as large as you want.  To help you recruit members for your team, all teams of 5 or more members, will save $3.00 off their registration!
How team discount pricing works:
When people register for your team, the first 4 members of the team (including you) will pay the current full registration price.  The 5th person, and every subsequent person who joins the team will pay the current registration fee less $3.00.  After that 5th person joins the team, to complete the 5-person team discount minimum, the first 4 members of the team will each be refunded $3.00 on their credit card!

Door Prizes

The Lions Run for Sight is known for our door prizes.  We hope to have 100 special prizes for our 39th annual run.

About Lexington

Scenic view of

Lexington is the second largest city in Kentucky, located in the Bluegrass Region. Known as the Horse Capital of the World, Lexington has traditionally been dominated by the horse industry and is also heavily influenced by the University of Kentucky, the state's flagship university and the largest employer in the city. The horse industry has greatly influenced Lexington's culture and scenic beauty; the University of Kentucky and Transylvania University contribute to a college town atmosphere with a richer and more diverse culture than some might expect from its size and location. Lexington's compact central downtown district is surrounded by historic neighborhoods. Lexington is in the heart of the Bluegrass region of Kentucky and is still home to hundreds of horse farms.
