5K ROUTE MAP
10K ROUTE MAP
The 10K ROUTE will just do the 5K out and back route twice. There will be a turnaround just in front of the 5K finish line with a water station at that point. 10K participants will turn at that point and run the same 5K course a 2nd time.
NEW FOR 2026 --- We've added a 2 Mile Walk/Ruck
CPT Elliott set off on Sunday, July 30, 2023, intending to complete a ruck march in preparation for an upcoming tryout with Special Mission Unit. Two miles into his run/ruck, he has hit and killed in a hit-and-run. This year, we will be changing Run, White, & Blue’s “1-mile fun run/walk” to 2 miles in tribute and encourage all who would like to honor Alan and other service members lost in the line of duty to complete the 2 miles carrying a rucksack.
Join fellow runners on July 25, 2026 for the Run White & Blue 5K & 10K. It's a fantastic 5K, 10K, 1.6K featuring a flat and fast course in Lexington.
