Three Days of Rides

2025 Routes

The Horsey Hundred features a full array of routes for every skill level, from rolling 26 miles to a challenging century. You will ride through picturesque, rolling, central Kentucky horse farm country and see stone fences, small towns, and plenty of horses. We have rest stops every 15-25 miles for Saturday and Sunday Routes.

Where

Saturday and Sunday routes start at Charles Brooking Park, near the two blue buildings on Fairgrounds road.

Friday rides start at King’s Way Church.

Maps and road markings

All routes are marked with color-coded arrows (as shown in the descriptions below) and supplementary signs. The Ride With GPS mobile app provides a comprehensive way to navigate the routes and other services. We also provide printed maps and cue sheets at the event check-in area.

Starting Times 

The Horsey Hundred does not have an official starting time. You can start whenever you like, but we strongly suggest you consider starting at a time listed on the schedule to ensure SAG and rest stop availability.

New for 2025, the 103 and 80 mile routes highlight the scenic beauty of Woodford and Jessamine Counties. The century features two notable climbs – one before and one after the historic Jack Jouett House. For avid riders seeking an extra challenge, check out the Keeneland Counterclock.

Feeling the heat? Riders can opt to bypass one or both climbs. Skipping both brings the route down to 80 miles.

The Keeneland Counterclock: This 4.4-mile loop, common to the 100-, 80-, 64-, and 43-mile routes, features a couple of short but punchy climbs. True to Kentucky horse racing tradition, the loop runs counterclockwise, passing near the iconic Keeneland Race Course and its beautiful grounds.

Metric riders will need to complete this loop to reach the 62-mile mark. Other route distance riders looking to add miles and soak in more quintessential Bluegrass scenery – this one’s for you!

Reviews

All the volunteers I encountered were friendly and helpful and did a terrific job!  Route selection was excellent with great road markings. Rest stops were well placed and filled with great snacks.

Beautiful countryside, low traffic, courteous drivers, friendly participants, excellent volunteers, many ride options. Our favorite of all rides!

Very well organized. Great support with sag vehicles clearly, frequently visible. Great volunteers, so friendly and helpful. Great group of riders, friendly and nice. This is my 4th time and I’ll be back. I rode by myself as all my friend riders had to bail for various reasons. I am glad I came and rode. Beautiful country, great support, and enthusiastic riders.

Always a professional event. My favorite of the Kentucky Challenge. Looking forward to next year. Could you hold two per year?
