How It Works
This event will be similar to a high school track meet, where the start times associated with each heat are an approximation. The emcee will alert you to when your particular heat needs to be at the starting line. Register for the heat that represents your projected finish time (see below). We will have 1 designed pacer to each open event to help you reach your goals!

*The Youth Coed Mile is designed for anyone under the age of 18 who wants to participate in the Mile, but this might be one of their first times running the distance. We designed it to be less intimidating and more relaxed compared to the open heats that are slotted by specific paces. That being said, all open heats are open to any age.
