3Way Racing, 2013′s RunTheBluegrass Jaguar Platform chip timing company

With three extremely experienced partners based in Lexington and Louisville, 3Way Racing has been growing and expanding right alongside us. The Jaguar chip timing system is the most elite in the business, more accurate than any other system around.

 

Abby Laub, Official Race Photographer

While Abby is originally from upstate New York, she and her husband Jeff (a native Louisvillian) now live and work in Lexington on all kinds of projects under the sun, including their growing photography & video firm, J.A. Laub Photography. On top of her RunTheBluegrass finish line photography, Abby is also a freelance journalist for Southern Indiana Living Magazine, The Lane Report, Business Lexington and BG Magazine. Clearly, Abby’s community inroads are expansive and beautiful!

 

Bob Baney, Course and Event Developer

Bob is a triathlete and a certified Race Director with 3WayRacing out of Louisville and Lexington – and has been working with us for two years now. For our inspirational course in and behind Keeneland, Bob has spent countless hours measuring and remeasuring tangents and exact distances so our 13.1 miles are as accurate as they come!

Bob is also one of the most well-connected persons in Central Kentucky’s running, swimming and biking community you’ll ever meet.
