The A Running Start 5K is a Running race in Lexington, Kentucky consisting of a 5K.

Join us for the A Running Start 5K at 6:30pm at Coldstream Research Park.
Come run or walk with us and some new-to-running recovery guys to support A Running Start program for men and women in addiction recovery.

A Running Start believes in the healing power of physical activity for those affected by situational homelessness and addiction. Our running community provides a unique accountability and can be used as a tool to prevent relapse and encourage recovery. We make sure those we help have proper training and shoes and we help pay for their 5K registration fees.

Come show support for our runners and their dedication to new beginnings! Your support will help them continue the journey toward new, healthy lives.

A Running Start 5K features commemorative race shirts, a DJ, and Overall & Age Group Awards. Strollers, walkers, and dogs on fixed length leashes welcomed. We look forward to seeing you there!
