About the Race

The Miracle Mile is a 1 Mile downhill race for Runners and Walkers. The race course starts at the intersection of Grant and Military Street and runs west towards downtown. Runners make a slight right onto Main Street near County Yankee Grocer (about half a mile in) and continue to the finish line which is just in front of the County Co-Op in historic Market Square.

Early registration is available online, but same-day registration is also provided at Military Street Baptist Church (307 Military St.). The church will be open from 4:00 pm to 5:30pm for registration. The race starts promptly at 6:00 pm. After the race, a reception and award ceremony will be held at the finish line. Water will be available. The race serves as the opening event of Houlton’s Midnight Madness festival.
