The Minty Miler

The Minty Miler is a family friendly holiday running party! Holiday themed attire is not required, but is encouraged. 

Race Format: 1 hour, accurately timed race. Run as far as you can in the 1 hour time limit. You must complete all laps for them to count. Any partially completed laps when time runs out will not be counted toward your total. You can stop at any point, but you must check in with the race director if you are stopping before the end of the time limit. The race will start promptly at 1pm and end at 2pm.

*We will have professional timing this year provided by Pioneer Timing!
