Get ready for a vibrant community tradition at the Fairfield Avenue Mile + FCA 5K, celebrating its 30th Anniversary on Saturday, July 11, 2026! This beloved event, which predates even the Cincinnati Flying Pig Race, invites runners and walkers of all ages and fitness levels to experience the charming streets of Bellevue and Dayton, Kentucky. Participants can choose between the classic 1 Mile walk/run or challenge themselves with the 5K run. Typical race day conditions in mid-July feature comfortable lows around 65F and highs near 87F, with about an 18% chance of precipitation, making for potentially pleasant early morning running weather.

The race kicks off in Bellevue, Kentucky, right in front of Frisch's, guiding participants down the historic Fairfield Avenue. Those tackling the 5K will enjoy an extended route that takes them along the scenic riverfront in Dayton, Kentucky, before all distances converge to cross the finish line near the Callahan Community Center in Bellevue. This family-friendly event encourages strollers and leashed dogs, with children aged 5 and under participating for free.

What truly sets the Fairfield Avenue Mile + FCA 5K apart is its profound impact beyond the finish line. One hundred percent of the proceeds directly benefit the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), providing crucial camp scholarships and program funding for student-athletes and coaches throughout Northern Kentucky. Join this rich tradition not just for the personal challenge, but to contribute to a cause that empowers the next generation of leaders.
