The 2026 Juneteenth Freedom 5K takes place at White Hall State Historic Site in Richmond, Kentucky on June 20th. Despite its name, the event offers a 1-mile distance rather than the traditional 5K length. The race welcomes both runners and walkers, making it accessible to participants across fitness levels. Registration costs between $25 and $30. The event starts at midnight, which is an unusual timing for a road race—plan accordingly for nighttime running conditions and visibility. White Hall State Historic Site provides the venue backdrop for this Juneteenth celebration. If you're traveling to compete, you'll want accommodation nearby that supports early morning preparation or accounts for the late-night start time.
