FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) - You typically don’t think about running a 5K and bourbon at the same time, but this Fourth of July the folks at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort hope you will.
For the first time since the pandemic, the Great Buffalo Chase 5K is returning to the distillery grounds for an in-person run. It’s a race with big dollars for winners and all the money raised ends in a very traditional Fourth of July festivity.
“You don’t think of a distillery when you think 5K,” said Emily Doss.
For over 200 years, Buffalo Trace has been crafting that fine Kentucky concoction the state is known for, but for that last 20 of those it’s drawn in bourbon lovers and runners for the The Great Buffalo Chase 5K.
