IMPORTANT EVENT CHANGE

We at CompetitorME take the health and well being of our participants, volunteers, spectators, and staff very seriously.  With the current fears surrounding COVID-19, we are working with local officials and medical professionals to best understand the impact of our events.

The Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) published Interim Guidance for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on March 15, states: " recommends that for the next 8 weeks, organizers (whether groups or individuals) cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States."  At this time, we are adhering to Federal, State, and Local mandates which has extended this postponement into July at the earliest.

It is with regret, that we are cancelling the SCPO (SEAL) Kyle Milliken "The Only Easy Day" 5K/10K event originally scheduled for Saturday, Julye 11, 2020.  This event has now moved to a Virtual Event.  In an athlete-first policy, we are offering to all registered runners, at no additional cost, the ability to transfer to the Virtual Participant Option.  We will make this transfer for you.  Additionally, you will still receive the same event goodies in the mail!

Finally, on behalf of CompetitorME, we appreciate the support of our running and endurance event communities.  These are undoubtedly trying times for us all.  We look forward to seeing you all as soon as we can!

SCPO (SEAL) Kyle Milliken

Virginia Beach - Navy Special Warfare Operator Senior Chief Petty Officer (SEAL) Kyle J. Milliken, 38, of Falmouth, Maine, died May 5, 2017 in East Africa of wounds sustained during combat operations.

He was assigned to an East Coast based Naval Special Warfare unit.

Kyle enlisted in the U.S. Navy in July 2002. On December 12, 2002, he entered Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training in Coronado, CA. After nine months of the most grueling and demanding training in the military, he graduated in September 2003. He served in East coast-based Naval Special Warfare units throughout his career.

Kyle was a highly decorated combat veteran with numerous awards and 10 deployments. His awards include the Silver Star Medal (Posthumously) for heroic actions in combat. 

Additional awards include Bronze Star Medal with Valor (5); Purple Heart Medal; Defense Meritorious Service Medal; Joint Service Commendation Medal (2); Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor; Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal; Joint Service Achievement Medal; Navy and Marine Crops Achievement Medal (3); Combat Action Ribbon (3); Presidential Unit Citation (3); Good Conduct Medal (4); National Defense Service Medal; Afghanistan Campaign Medal (4); Iraq Campaign Medal; Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal; Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and numerous other personal and unit decorations.

Kyle was an amazing father, husband, son, brother, and friend, whose passion for life was contagious. His sharp wit and magnetic personality made lasting impressions on everyone he met. Kyle was highly competitive in all aspects of his life. He displayed incredible talent as a dedicated warrior, yet he stayed grounded through his faith, family and teammates. Kyle's captivating presence and colorful storytelling regularly had an entire room in hysterics. He was the cornerstone of his family, friends, and team and will be profoundly missed.

Kyle is survived by his wife, two children, father, mother, brother, and countless other family, friends and teammates. 

The Milliken Family would like to extend their gratitude to the community for their support and prayers.
