Snowball Express 2-Miler

Lace up your shoes for the 15th Annual Snowball Express 2-Miler, a refreshing start to the year set for Saturday, January 24, 2026, in the charming town of Brodhead, Kentucky. This popular 2-mile run/walk event is the perfect antidote to winter "cabin fever," offering a scenic course that begins and ends at Brodhead Elementary School. Typical race day conditions in late January see highs around 47°F and lows near 27°F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, making for invigorating winter running weather.

Beyond the crisp air and picturesque route, the Snowball Express 2-Miler stands out as the inaugural race in the 2026 County-wide Stride series. It's a community-focused event that proudly supports the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, transforming your miles into meaningful contributions. Participants can expect a chip-timed experience, with awards presented to the top male and female finishers, as well as age group winners for runners, and the top three male and female walkers.

Adding to the excitement, all paid participants receive a custom race sweatshirt, though early registration is encouraged due to limited sizing. A truly unique aspect of this event is the "Student Strides" program, allowing all students aged 4-18 to run for free, fostering a love for activity in the younger generation. Whether you're aiming for a personal best, enjoying a leisurely walk, or kicking off a race series, the Snowball Express 2-Miler promises a memorable and impactful experience for all.
