One of our favorite summer traditions here at LEXtoday is the Bluegrass 10,000. There’s nothing more thrilling than seeing the community come out to cheer on all the runners braving the sunny streets before the Fourth of July parade and festivities.

And while we’re still 13 days away — not that we’re counting — there’s still plenty of opportunities to pound some pavement with your fellow runners.

Here’s a peek at six races coming up on the calendar in and around Lexington.
