Mile Run

The Mile Run is a timed/competitive event that features heats categorized by age group. All participants in the Mile Run will receive a race bib with a timing chip. Your timing chip will trigger when you cross the starting line mat at the beginning of the race and will trigger again when you cross the finish line. The start line is at Front Street & Maclay Street. The finish line is at Front Street & Boas Street, just north of the Harvey Taylor Bridge.

The Mile Run heats follow age group categories. Visit our race day schedule to see when your heat starts; this will also be indicated on your timing bib.
