About
The first annual Memorial Day Mile is in alignment with a national movement afoot - to Bring Back the Mile - America's distance (1-2). The event also acknowledges our fallen service members on Memorial Day for their sacrifice in protecting the United States. The race course is flat, certified, and will begin in groups based on runners' estimated finish times. There will be a group for all speeds, and timing mats for start and finish.
