Thinking about running in the 2010 Bourbon Chase in the fall?

Too late.

The  teams already registered for the race Oct. 22-23, 2010 has reached 200.

“For the inaugural year, we set a goal to register 150 teams and were excited when we hit that mark several months before the race. Nearly all of the 2009 teams are returning, and there has been a lot of excitement and buzz surrounding the 2010 Bourbon Chase Relay.”

said Mike Kuntz, race organizer.

The 2009 teams featured runners from 40 states and two countries. The 2010 Bourbon Chase Relay has attracted teams from across the United States and Canada.

“We were thrilled with the success of the 2009 Bourbon Chase Relay and spoke with many people who were visiting Lexington for the first time last fall. Participants were very impressed with the scenic beauty of the Bluegrass and the hospitality of the Region”

said David Lord, president of the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau.
