LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC 36 NEWS NOW via LEX NEWS) — The sixth annual No Greater Honor 5K Run took place Saturday morning at the Keeneland racecourse in Lexington, falling on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

The nonprofit’s next flight is scheduled for Aug. 29.

Saturday’s event featured a 5K route, a one-mile walk, and a kid’s dash. LEX News’ Tom Ackerman was the race’s emcee.
