Competitive Mile

For those seeking a bit of friendly competition, we also offer the Competitive Mile. The goal is to provide a fun, competitive, and accessible opportunity for runners of all ages and abilities to test their fitness in the mile. Participants in this category will receive a race bib, official results, and be eligible for awards.

• Race Bib: Participants will receive a race bib.
• Race Chip: Time your race with a race chip.
