About this race
Event Overview
With this year being the First National Bank 45th Annual YMCA Harrisburg Mile and the 175th anniversary of the YMCA, we have so much to celebrate! The Harrisburg Mile has been an annual city-wide celebration event since 1981. Dubbed “Summer’s Best Mile” this flat, fun run is perfect for everyone and anyone.
Participation Options

- Age Group Heat: Ready to push yourself and see how fast you can really go? Sign up for a times age group heat!
- Elite Mile: Think you're the fastest of all? The Elite Mile is the race for you!
New Event for 2026
New to 2026 is the Salute and Survive event to kick off the Harrisburg Mile. We encourage our veterans (Salute) and cancer survivors/members of our Livestrong program (Survive) to come out for the .25 mile walk so we can honor all that you have given, accomplished, and sacrificed. This will be a no cost event for veterans or cancer survivors.
- Registration: We kindly ask all participants who are walking with them to register on the paid link.
Final Thoughts
The summer’s best celebration will be here in no time! Happy running!
