Tip: For large groups, we highly recommend calling ahead to avoid long wait times during peak hours.

 

What Is the Stay-to-Play Policy?

Run 4 Roses is a Stay To Play Event. There is more hotel compression in Louisville during TFN’s Run 4 Roses than there is during the Kentucky Derby.

Between July 10-15, the average hotel price in Louisville within the Run 4 Roses Blocks is $176.00. The average hotel price during the Kentucky Derby is $555.00. Our 125 hotel partners do a great job of keeping our block prices down so families can afford the Run 4 Roses Experience. Those staying outside of our blocks pay an opt-out fee.

By maintaining this current system, we can keep the prices in Louisville WAY DOWN. If we allowed the hotels to act on their own, the prices would skyrocket and make the city too costly. Thank you for your understanding and allowing us to fight for prices to stay LOW! This year, we saw record compliance within our hotel blocks with over 9,000 Reservations.

Will Games Be Live Streamed?

Yes! All games at the Kentucky Expo Center are live-streamed via BeTheBeast.
