Blue Grass Airport to host 2nd Sunday event on June 12

On June 12, from 1-5 pm, Blue Grass Airport and community partners will once again invite the general public to participate in their favorite fitness activities on the airport’s runway during 2nd Sunday at Blue Grass Airport. As part of the 2nd Sunday initiative, this event will provide members of the local community a unique opportunity to take advantage of the airport’s 4,000-foot runway to be active with friends and family.

The event is free and open to the public. Leashed pets are welcome and pet watering stations will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring food, water, lawn games, sunscreen, chairs and/or a picnic blanket. Portable restrooms will be available onsite.

To access the event, convenient parking will be available onsite, adjacent to the runway. Vehicles should enter by the airport’s Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting Training Center on Versailles Road, just west of Keeneland Race Course. Signage will be located on Versailles Road and police will be directing traffic to parking locations. Overflow parking will be available off-site if needed and shuttle service will be provided.

Blue Grass Airport’s commercial and general aviation flights will continue as usual throughout the event. There will be no interruption to the flight schedule since airplanes will be taking off on the airport’s primary 7,000-foot runway.
