The Minty Miler

Event Information

The Minty Miler is a family friendly holiday running party! Holiday themed attire is not required, but is encouraged. This event features a 1-hour accurately timed race where participants run as far as they can in the time limit.

Race Format

The race will start promptly at 1:00 PM and end at 2:00 PM. Participants must complete all laps for them to count; any partially completed laps when time runs out will not be counted toward the total. Check in with the race director if you are stopping early.
