DV8K Life Changing Run (8K & 4K)

DV8K Life Changing Run (8K & 4K)

Some run for fun. Some run for health. Now, run to change a life. Support the DV8 Kitchen Vocational Training Foundation's Employee Success Program! Join us for the 7th Annual DV8K Life Changing Run on Saturday, August 16, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. at Keeneland Race Course. The race will feature our signature 8K (4.97 miles), a 4K (2.5 miles) run/walk, and Kids' 1/4 Mile Dash. The races will cover much of the scenic Keeneland grounds. Run or walk the 4K with strollers welcomed. The 8K is a double loop course and only for runners who can maintain a 15 minute/mile pace. We also have a Virtual Runner/Walker category for those who want to support the race and cause but who cannot join us in person. Register as a virtual runner/walker, and we'll mail your race packet (bib & race shirt), and you can run/walk your own DV8K or 4K on your own timeline anywhere in the world. The 2025 DV8K Run will raise funds to further DV8's mission of employing and empowering people in early stages of addiction recovery.
