We’re back—and this year, we’re turning up the volume!
New this year: We’ve moved the meet to Saturday so we can expand the fun:
We’re building stacked pro fields for the Webb Mile, 5000m, and 10,000m—but there’s a spot for everyone looking to PR in the 800, mile, or 5000m.
One complimentary beer or another beverage with entry
Youth Mile (13 & under): FREE ENTRY!
In case of inclement weather, races will be delayed until continuation is no longer feasible.

Let’s race under the lights at DTS! 🌠

Get up and close to the action.
