WHY WE RACE?
Our race will support the University of Kentucky College of Medicine Salvation Army Clinic (SAC).
The University of Kentucky College of Medicine Salvation Army Clinic (SAC) has been serving Lexington residents for free since 1986. The clinic is located in and treats residents of the Salvation Army women and children’s shelter. The clinic currently has twice weekly adult clinics, and monthly pediatric and ophthalmology clinics along with oral cancer screenings provided by ENT and free weekly tobacco cessation groups. We also help patients sign-up for insurance, get established with primary care and dental care, and connect them with other community resources. The clinic is fully run by medical students with the support of volunteer physicians, pharmacists, and pharmacy students. The mission of SAC is to allow students to get early clinical exposure by assuming a leadership role in improving the health and well-being of the underserved populations in Lexington and to increase awareness of the social determinants of health while providing free medical services. Without the service and leadership of our volunteers, we would not be able to operate the clinic. The Salvation Army Clinic is completely dependent on donations and grants. All monies raised will go towards the purchase of medications and supplies for the clinic.

Learn more about the host city, Lexington.
Lexington is the second largest city in Kentucky, located in the Bluegrass Region. Known as the Horse Capital of the World, Lexington has traditionally been dominated by the horse industry and is also heavily influenced by the University of Kentucky, the state's flagship university and the largest employer in the city. The horse industry has greatly influenced Lexington's culture and scenic beauty; the University of Kentucky and Transylvania University contribute to a college town atmosphere with a richer and more diverse culture than some might expect from its size and location. Lexington's compact central downtown district is surrounded by historic neighborhoods. Lexington is in the heart of the Bluegrass region of Kentucky and is still home to hundreds of horse farms.
