Radler Rush Cross Country 2.5K/5K/10K

Lace up your trail shoes for the Radler Rush Cross Country 5K/10K, set to challenge runners and walkers alike on Friday, August 14, 2026, in scenic Frankfort, Kentucky. This event, proudly part of the 2025 Central Kentucky Beer, Bourbon, and Wine Cross Country Series, promises a distinctive race experience on the beautiful trails of West Sixth Farm. Participants can expect typical race day conditions to feature highs around 87F and lows near 66F, with a slight 14% chance of precipitation, making for a potentially warm but invigorating evening run.

The Radler Rush offers both a 5K and a 10K cross-country option, with the 5K welcoming walkers, while the 10K maintains a 16-minute per mile cutoff pace due to concerns with sunset. Beyond the course, the race is renowned for its vibrant post-event celebration at West Sixth Farm, featuring music, tempting food trucks, and the highlight for many—a special finisher's award alongside a ticket for a refreshing 16 oz West Sixth Brewing beer for those 21 and over.

With registration closing at midnight on August 13, 2026, and no race day sign-ups available, securing your spot early is essential to be part of this memorable Frankfort running tradition. Packet pickup will be conveniently held on race day at West Sixth Farm from 6:00 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., just before the 7:00 p.m. EDT race start.
