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.
Route links to RideWithGPS will be available once routes are finalized.
Where
Saturday and Sunday routes start at Charles Brooking Park, near the two blue buildings on Fairgrounds road.
Friday ride information will be posted once available. Typically there are two rides on Friday from around 20-40 miles with no rest stops.
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 at mile 83.8 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. Longer-distance riders looking to add miles and soak in more quintessential Bluegrass scenery – this one’s for you!
