DanceBlue 5K 2025

DanceBlue 5K 2025 is an annual 5-kilometer run/walk at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. The event is organized by DanceBlue, a student-run philanthropy that supports the DanceBlue Hematology/Oncology Clinic at Kentucky Children’s Hospital. The 5K is one of several fundraising efforts that lead up to a 24-hour dance marathon and other events such as mini marathons and a silent auction. Funds raised go to clinic research and family support.
