Lace up for a unique challenge at the Miles for Music endurance event, set to unfold on Saturday, September 26, 2026, in Frankfort, KY. This distinctive race offers participants the choice of 6-hour or 12-hour formats, catering to both seasoned ultra-runners and those looking to push their limits in a supportive environment. Hosted by the Frankfort Striders, Miles for Music is more than just a race; it's a community effort benefitting the Frankfort Independent School XC Teams and Second Street School PTSA.

The cornerstone of the Miles for Music experience is its innovative one-mile loop course, which runners must complete at least once every hour to be considered a finisher. This engaging format allows participants in the 12-hour event to run from 7 AM to 7 PM, while 6-hour participants can choose their consecutive six-hour window within the event's timeframe. This continuous loop design ensures constant access to a central aid station at the start/finish area, providing crucial hydration and nutrition throughout your endeavor. The course is expected to offer consistent footing, making it ideal for maintaining a steady pace as you accumulate your miles.

Entering its second year, Miles for Music is quickly establishing itself as a beloved fixture on the Kentucky running calendar. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions to be pleasant, with highs around 78F and lows around 55F, and a low 12% chance of precipitation, creating an inviting atmosphere for a long day on the course. Join fellow runners at 480 Ninevah Road in Frankfort for a memorable day of endurance, community, and giving back.
