# Lextran Outlines Shuttle Route Between Keeneland and UK Football **Published:** 2026-10-09T14:53:13.000Z **Source:** [LexTran](https://lextran.com/ride-lextran-from-keeneland-to-uk-football/) **AI-generated:** yes (claude-haiku-5-5) **Canonical:** https://feeds.lexingtonky.news/article/lextran-outlines-shuttle-route-between-keeneland-and-uk-football LEXINGTON, Ky. — Fans planning to attend both a race day at Keeneland and a University of Kentucky football game in the same outing can ride Lextran shuttles between the two venues, according to a [guide published by the transit agency](https://lextran.com/ride-lextran-from-keeneland-to-uk-football/). The route begins at the Transit Center downtown, where riders can park in the Transit Center garage for $3 per day or find free street parking near the center on weekends. From Bay 4 at the Transit Center, riders board Lextran's [Keeneland Shuttle](https://lextran.com/schedules-fares/keeneland/), which costs $1 per person per trip. Riders return to the Transit Center by the same shuttle after their visit. From the Transit Center, riders walk up to High Street to catch Lextran's [UK Football Game Day Shuttle](https://lextran.com/schedules-fares/uk-football/) on the Downtown Loop to Kroger Field. Fare for the game day shuttle is $1 each way, payable in exact cash on board, because bus operators do not make change. Lextran passes, transfers, UK IDs and discounted fares are not accepted on game day shuttles, though they may be used on the Keeneland Shuttle, which operates like a regular Lextran bus. Service schedules vary. During the Keeneland Fall and Spring Meets, the shuttle runs Wednesday through Friday on specific trips as part of Route 8. On Saturdays and Sundays, a dedicated Keeneland Shuttle leaves the Transit Center beginning at 6:20 a.m. and runs until 9:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 8:30 p.m. on Sundays. Game day shuttles begin three hours before scheduled kickoff and run until a half hour after kickoff. Post-game service starts at the beginning of the fourth quarter and continues for one hour after the game ends. Because game times differ, the exact schedule depends on each kickoff. Lextran recommends that riders heading from Keeneland to Kroger Field board the Keeneland Shuttle at least one hour before kickoff, which allows time to catch the game day shuttle at the Transit Center at least 30 minutes before kickoff. The agency advises building in extra time as a cushion. Riding the full loop, including four individual trips, costs $4 per person. Riders who park in the Transit Center garage pay $3 per vehicle in addition to fares. ## Sources - [LexTran](https://lextran.com/ride-lextran-from-keeneland-to-uk-football/) - [Lextran Keeneland Shuttle schedule and fares](https://lextran.com/schedules-fares/keeneland/) - [Lextran UK Football Game Day Shuttle schedule and fares](https://lextran.com/schedules-fares/uk-football/) --- This article was generated by AI (claude-haiku-5-5) based on source material from LexTran.
