The art of cropping... swipe to see how a photographer's eye really enhances a photo!

The post-race moment everyone has been waiting for! We had a blast with everyone and are so excited to share our Rugged Race photos! Visit our website to see more RUGGED snapshots: mentorkidsky.org/rugged-race/

While we wait for the bulk of the Rugged Race photos to be ready, we wanted to share a special tribute to a family that has participated in the last four Rugged Races together.

Watching them tackle the course side by side each year is one of the many things the MentorKids Kentucky staff looks forward to. Their dedication, encouragement, and family spirit embody so much of what makes this event special.

We run for the kids, and seeing families come together year after year in support of that mission is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. Thank you for being such an important part of the Rugged Race family. ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍➡️🏃‍♀️‍➡️

We can't wait for next year's race!

We can't wait to see all of our runners cross the finish line!

TOMORROW (8/1/26) at Diamond Lake, the Rugged Race presented by Independence Bank. Come cheer on our runners, get some breakfast at the Cottage Food Booth, and enjoy a day of mud and trail runs.
