5K Race Added To This Year's Balloon Event

A new event has been added to this year’s Buffalo Trace Balloon Race. Bodies in Motion will present the Buffalo Trace 5K race at 8am Saturday, August 9th.
The race will begin at Maysville Community and Technical College and follow Martha Comer Drive. Race organizer Tina Rigdon-Hester says the 5K Race “is a great course with rolling hills. We will have the YMCA Wildcat cheerleaders throughout the course cheering on all the runners. We hope to make this an annual event, so walkers, runners and ghost runners are invited.”
There are several age divisions. Advance registration is $20, or $25 on race day. Each participant will receive a shirt. Checks or money orders can be made payable to the Buffalo Trace Balloon Race, Attention: 5K, P.O. Box 151, Washington, KY, 41096-0151.
