About the event

  Why 1 mile?   Many runners like to vary their race distances, often going longer than, say a 5k. As a reminder though, there are also shorter (and faster) distances that can be included in changing things up. Enter the 1 mile race. While 1 mile "fun runs" have their place, so too do more serious 1 mile races. The number of competitive 1 mile races in the Greenville area are few and far between. The first annual Memorial Day Mile seeks to address this deficiency, showing solidarity with a national movement afoot - to Bring Back the Mile (1). The event also acknowledges our fallen service members on Memorial Day for their sacrifice in protecting the United States.  The race will begin in groups based on estimated finish times. The race is intended mainly for adult runners but all ages and speeds are welcome. The flat race course (linked below) will start at the Kroc Center overflow parking lot, cross S. Hudson Street into Unity Park, do a loop in the park, and finish back in the parking lot.    See you at the races !
