Exercise in Medicine is a medical student-led interest group that aims to enhance physical health and well being not only for those within the College of Medicine but beyond for our current and future patients in Kentucky.

Our group was inspired by a nonprofit called Medals4Mettle that gathers volunteers to run distance races and donate their finisher’s medals to children who have demonstrated resilience and mettle despite illness/injury. Our medical students created our own version by running the Run the BlueGrass- Lexington at Keeneland! We chose to gift our medals to children battling orthopedic injuries at Shriners Hospital for Children in Lexington. Our goal through Exercise in Medicine is to host this event annually to give back to applaud and uplift patients and their families, give back to Shriners Hospital, and promote physical health within the College of Medicine to mitigate burnout.
