The Emergency Mile

🏃‍♂️ The Emergency Mile

Join us to honor Rockcastle County’s first responders at The Emergency Mile. If you are an experienced runner, this is your chance to test your speed on a nearly level one-mile course. If you’re new to run/walks, this is the perfect way to start – with a less challenging distance. Either way, you are honoring those in our county that we could not do without.
