Lexington New Year’s tradition gets people on the move day 1 of 2025

LEXINGTON, Ky. ( FOX 56 ) — For eight years, the ‘Make It’ run sponsored by John’s Run/Walk Shop has been a New Year’s Day tradition.

Some ran, some walked, but everyone who participated in the ‘Make It’ run started 2025 on the move. This event is meant to be an all-inclusive way to help people stay active and make good habits.
