The annual St. Jerome Picnic 5K in Fancy Farm is widely known as the "Best Little Race Around". Our course is a challenging out and back including a long hill just after the turnaround. We offer many water stations as well as fresh fruit and cold sports drinks. You will have hundreds of folks cheering you on for the first and last mile of the race. All pre-registered runner are guaranteed a 5K T-shirt. T-shirts will be offered to late registrants as long as they are available.
NOTE: Hwy 339 North of Fancy Farm will be closed from 5:45 until nearly 7PM due to the St. Jerome One Mile Classic that utilizes that stretch of road. You will have to come in to Fancy Farm via Hwy 80 either from Mayfield or Carlisle County if 339 North is your normal route into Fancy Farm.
We do not have a "packet" to pick up. Instead, we will hand out your t-shirt, along with a race bib number at the registration desk. Registration begins at 5:30 PM on race day. There will be separate lines for pre-registered runners versus race day registrants.
