The Mile presented by Pacesetter Sports will be held on Saturday, JULY 3 (please note the date change). This does deviate from the traditional July 4th race day – but we wanted to ensure everyone could participate so we will be holding it on the Saturday before the holiday.
The race starts 1 mile north of the Stadium, on Brown Ave, and finishes by the Stadium grounds. The race consists of 6 heats with the first starting at 8:15.
THERE WILL BE NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT.
Start Times:
1st heat: Females 11-39 @ 8:15 a.m.
2nd heat: Females 40+ @ 8:25 a.m.
3rd heat: Males 11-39 @ 8:35 a.m.

Heat # 5 – “The Mile” is the culmination of the Kids Running Program and entry is included by participation in the program as well as open to the community of walkers and runners. “The Mile” is one of our most family friendly events. The heats are scheduled to enable parents to return to the start to accompany young children and cheer on the older ones.
Proceeds from the event fund the Wabash Valley Road Runners Kids Running Program, a free virtual summer running program for more than 200 Wabash Valley children. The Mile is the culmination of the Kids Running Program.
