Radler Rush Cross Country 5k/10k

Lace up your trail shoes for the Radler Rush Cross Country 5k/10k, an exhilarating evening race set for Friday, August 14, 2026, in scenic Frankfort, KY. This event, part of the Central Kentucky Beer, Bourbon, and Wine Cross Country Series, offers runners a unique challenge across the beautiful Trails at West Sixth Farm. Participants can choose between a 5k or a more demanding 10k, navigating varied terrain that promises a true cross-country experience. With a 7:00 PM EDT start, you'll race towards the sunset, with the 10k featuring a 16-minute-per-mile pace cutoff to ensure all finishers are off the course before dark. Typical race day conditions in mid-August see highs around 87°F and lows around 66°F, with a 14% chance of precipitation, offering a warm but potentially refreshing evening run.

Beyond the course, the Radler Rush is celebrated for its festive atmosphere. All finishers will earn a special award and, for those 21 and over, a ticket for a refreshing 16 oz West Sixth Brewing beer to enjoy post-race. The celebration continues with music and an array of food trucks, creating a lively community gathering at West Sixth Farm, located at 4495 Shadrick Ferry Rd. Whether you're a seasoned trail runner tackling the 10k or a walker enjoying the 5k, the Radler Rush offers a rewarding blend of competition and camaraderie. Be sure to register early, as there is no race day registration, with sign-ups closing at midnight on August 13, 2026.
