Presenting the 2023 GenesisHR Battlegreen Run

This annual tradition is celebrated by the local community for both the spirit of the event and the incredible fundraising achieved by participants for local nonprofits.

We will run as a community on Sunday, November 5th to raise money for a number of deserving nonprofits.  Choose from a 5K walk, 5K run or (almost)10K run….OK it’s only 9.857k…we just want to start and end in the same place. If you prefer to maintain social distancing or just can’t make it to Lexington on race day you can participate virtually.

Thank you to all our 2022 sponsors and to those that participated in our first virtual experience. Due to the generous support of our sponsors and your participation we were able to distribute over $100,000 to our charity partners and beneficiaries. We sincerely thank all those that assisted in this effort. Stay safe and we’ll see you in November!

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

We need volunteers to guide runners through their route, work at water stations and serve food to participants. Volunteering qualifies for school volunteer service credit (4 hours) and you will receive a free race volunteer t-shirt!

To volunteer, contact Robert Burbidge at robertburbidge@gmail.com

Battlegreen Foundation Board members present Rene Rancourt a token of their appreciation for being the voice of the GenesisHR Battlegreen run for 26 years.
