Fiscal Court approves Pisgah Farms & Furlongs footrace with standard safety conditions
Summary
Woodford County Fiscal Court approved the Pisgah Farms & Furlongs run (scheduled May 30, 2025) after the organizer described traffic-control, neighbor-notice and police coordination measures; approval was unanimous.
The Woodford County Fiscal Court approved a request from the Pisgah Community Historic Association to hold the Pisgah Farms & Furlongs footrace on May 30, 2025 (first Saturday after Memorial Day this year falls in May), subject to the event plan presented to the court.
Jill Pritchard, president of the Pisgah Community Historic Association and race organizer, told the court the event stays primarily within the Pisgah Historic District and uses private farm property for the start/finish. She described a notification program for impacted neighbors that includes an email list, mailed notices, police contact information, signage with closure dates and times (06:30–10:30 a.m.), and brief rolling closures that typically range from 30 to 60 minutes per affected roadway. Pritchard said the organizers have coordinated with police in past years and will continue to do so.
The court asked about use of the county’s Woodford Alert system for additional public notice; staff said they will help set that up. The court approved the event motion by voice vote; no magistrates opposed.
Quote (verified): “We start on Pisgah Pike, and we kind of combine it almost primarily to, an area of Pisgah Pike and Paynes Mill… We do shut down the roads from about 06:30 in the morning till about 10:30 in the morning on a Saturday,” Jill Pritchard said.
What’s next: Staff will work with the organizer to place notices, help set up Woodford Alert messages, and publish the event information on the county web page.
