Channel your inner equine: Race eight furlongs on a smooth, packed surface.

The fourth annual edition of the Bluegrass Mile provides runners of all abilities a unique opportunity to cover 5,280 feet on the dirt track at Red Mile. Whether you're looking for a competitive mile or a community walk, all are welcome to join us for an evening on the track.

We will also be introducing a 5k for 2026! 5k participants will experience the iconic Red Mile race track, and then exit the track for a short out and back before returning to the track, and running a lap of the inner circuit too!

The number of sign ups for the mile will determine how many heats we will seed runners into. If numbers permit we will send the milers & 5k runners off at the same time.

This is a unique opportunity to race around the track at Red Mile. We're unable to allow strollers or dogs for this race.

    5K ROUTE MAP

    10K ROUTE MAP

    The 10K ROUTE will just do the 5K out and back route twice. There will be a turnaround just in front of the 5K finish line with a water station at that point. 10K participants will turn at that point and run the same 5K course a 2nd time.

    NEW FOR 2026 --- We've added a 2 Mile Walk/Ruck

    CPT Elliott set off on Sunday, July 30, 2023, intending to complete a ruck march in preparation for an upcoming tryout with Special Mission Unit. Two miles into his run/ruck, he has hit and killed in a hit-and-run. This year, we will be changing Run, White, & Blue’s “1-mile fun run/walk” to 2 miles in tribute and encourage all who would like to honor Alan and other service members lost in the line of duty to complete the 2 miles carrying a rucksack.
