Beautiful seeing God & Mother Nature's work.

Proceeds from the race will benefit Midway History Museum, a 501(c)-3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the historical legacy of Midway, Kentucky. Since April 2022, Midway Museum volunteers have operated a museum and visitors center in the City Hall building at 101 East Main Street.
