Graveyard Gallop 5K - KY

Graveyard Gallop 5K - KY is held in Lexington, Kentucky, on October 30, 2026. The single format is a 5K Run/Walk over 3.1 miles, starting at 6 p.m., which puts the whole event in the evening on the Friday before Halloween.

Offering the distance as a run or a walk widens who it fits. If you are chasing a time, 3.1 miles is the distance that responds fastest to focused training, and four to six weeks of consistent running with one weekly session at threshold effort will show up on the clock. If you are walking it, the effort is well within reach of most people without any specific preparation. Either way, the evening start means dressing for falling temperatures and having something warm waiting at the finish.
