SARATOGA SPRINGS – Nearly 350 runners, nine former thoroughbred racehorses and plenty of children and dogs added up to a fun-filled morning at the Saratoga Spa State Park on Saturday, Sept. 2 at the eighth annual “5K Run/Walk for the Horses.”

Held to benefit the member organizations of Racehorse Aftercare Charitable Endeavors of Saratoga (R.A.C.E.), the Run for the Horses attracted top runners as well as people just looking for a stroll in the park.

R.A.C.E. consists of a coalition of nonprofit, racehorse aftercare organizations including  the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, ACTT Naturally, Heading for Home Racehorse Retraining/Adoption and Saratoga Warhorse.  

The event raised approximately $4,000 that will be split between the participating groups.
