The Burnside Mile

Join us at the Burnside Mile, celebrating fitness and the unique history of General Ambrose Burnside, after whom the city is named. Whether you're an experienced runner, new to running, or prefer walking, this chip-timed event invites you to participate. Proceeds will benefit Lake Cumberland Runners Inc., supporting regional communities in embracing healthier lifestyles through endurance activities. Teams of at least five can compete, encouraging camaraderie among corporations, social groups, or families. Awards are given across various age groups and team categories, including a special prize for the best sideburns. Veterans enjoy free registration as a token of appreciation.
