21st Annual Safe Place Turf Classic
The 21st Annual YMCA Safe Place Services Turf Classic will be held on Friday, June 7th, 2-6:30pm. This event is truly one of a kind - Churchill Downs hosts a day at the races with a twist: the favorite race of the day is run by Humans!
They compete for the winning trophy by running seven furlongs (7/8 of a mile) on the turf track. The day also includes a great silent auction and celebration in the beautiful Triple Crown Room and Jockey Club Suites. For more information on our Turf Classic opportunities please contact Natalie Reteneller at 635-4404 or nreteneller@ymcalouisville.org.
