To help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all athletes, coaches, and spectators, the Kentucky Exposition Center will have enhanced security measures in place during this year’s Run 4 Roses Classic and Championship.

Please note the following:

  • Additional security screening and bag checks will be conducted at all public entrances.
  • Please allow extra time when arriving at the Kentucky Exposition Center, as entry through the main gates may take longer than usual.
  • Players will have a separate screening process for their athletic bags to help keep athlete entry moving as efficiently as possible.

New for 2026: Evolv Security Screening

This year, Run 4 Roses will utilize Evolv Security, an advanced, touchless screening system that will be deployed at every public entrance. The system is designed to detect potential threats in real time while allowing guests to walk through at a natural pace, helping create a safer environment without significantly slowing entry. Evolv technology is trusted by many of the world’s largest venues and sporting events and will be used throughout the Kentucky Exposition Center for all participants, spectators, vendors, and staff.

While the screening process is designed to be fast and efficient, we still encourage everyone to arrive early to avoid delays, especially during peak arrival times.

Prohibited Items

Please review the list of commonly prohibited items below. If you bring any of these items, they will not be permitted inside the Kentucky Exposition Center.

  • Outside food, beverages, and alcohol
  • Large bags (over 14″ × 14″), coolers, and glass or metal containers
  • Pets (service animals only)
  • Skateboards, hoverboards, bicycles, scooters, and other personal transportation devices
  • Chairs, umbrellas, and noisemakers (air horns, whistles, etc.)
  • Balloons, laser pointers, drones, fireworks, and flammable materials
  • Large signs, banners, or signs attached to poles
