Lace up for an enchanting evening at the 3rd Annual Moonlit Mile 5K, set to illuminate White Hall Park in Richmond, KY, on Friday, July 24, 2026. This twilight race offers a unique and spirited summer atmosphere, starting at 7:30 PM EDT, making it an ideal way to enjoy the cooler evening temperatures after typical highs around 86°F and lows around 66°F, with a 19% chance of precipitation. Participants can choose between a chip-timed 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk or an untimed 1-mile walk, both traversing a scenic course on 100% paved trails within the picturesque White Hall Park. The relatively flat terrain ensures an accessible and enjoyable experience for all abilities, with strollers and dogs on fixed-length leashes welcome to join the fun.

Beyond the beautiful course and festive ambiance, the Moonlit Mile 5K is deeply rooted in supporting a worthy cause, with all proceeds benefiting Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) Richmond, a dedicated charity providing beds to children in need. This event, celebrating Lunar Fitness & Wellness LLC's three years in business, promises a memorable experience featuring commemorative race T-shirts, free race photos, and awards for the top three male and female overall and age group finishers. Runners can also enhance their race day with an optional pre-race yoga session.

The start and finish lines, along with race day packet pickup (from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM), are conveniently located at the White Hall Park pavilion, fostering a communal atmosphere from start to finish. Post-race, participants can look forward to refreshments, food, and camaraderie, rounding out a perfect summer evening of fitness and fellowship for a fantastic local cause.
