Lace up for a purpose at the 18th Annual WW Military Miles in Keller, TX, on June 7, 2026. This inspiring event offers distances for every runner, including a 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, all kicking off bright and early from the Keller City Hall Building. The race proudly supports our military heroes through beneficiaries like the Fisher House Foundation and the Wounded Warrior Project, fostering a powerful atmosphere of community spirit and gratitude.
Runners should prepare for a course that is often described as surprisingly challenging, featuring rolling hills throughout the half marathon's two-loop design and a winding trail section that demands focus. While the specific scenery isn't heavily detailed, the course provides a welcome variance from purely flat routes. Aid stations are typically plentiful, offering water and a sports drink, though runners are advised to bring their own nutrition if needed, as gels are not provided. Typical race day conditions in early June can see highs around 93°F and lows around 72°F, with a 12% chance of precipitation, making the early start times crucial for a comfortable race.
Participants consistently praise the event's fun atmosphere, manageable size that avoids overcrowding, and excellent race swag, which includes a commemorative tech shirt, "world famous DAR race socks," and a well-deserved finisher's medal for all distances. The half marathon has a 20-minute-per-mile pace requirement. With its dedication to a noble cause and a memorable course, the WW Military Miles promises an engaging experience for runners looking to challenge themselves and give back to those who serve.
