Officer Daniel Ellis Memorial 5K
The Officer Daniel Ellis Memorial 5K is a memorial run/walk held at White Hall State Historic Site in Richmond, Kentucky. The event offers both an in-person 5K run/walk on the park grounds and a virtual 5K option for participants outside the region. The in-person course is a closed, paved route at the historic site and uses chip timing. Overall awards for top finishers and age group awards are included.
Event features listed for the race include commemorative race shirts, chip timing with text-result notifications, free race photos, a DJ, and social teams. Packet pick up is arranged prior to race day and also on race morning at the venue. Due to the size of the race field and the width of trails at White Hall, dogs are not permitted; runners, walkers, and strollers are welcomed.
Registration opens May 7, 2026. Fees vary by entry type: $20 for the in-person 5K, $30 for the virtual 5K, and no fee for volunteer registration. Volunteer opportunities include race-day shifts in the morning and packet pick up before the event. A student discount of $5 is available for participants ages 6 to 18. Sponsorship opportunities and both monetary and in-kind donations are accepted for the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
