Organiser's description

Join us on Friday, December 20th for the 2nd Annual Parker Valby Holiday Mile at East Lake High School! This family-friendly event, in partnership with New Balance, has something for everyone, with multiple race sections designed for all ages and abilities. The Parker Valby Holiday Mile is the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit, give back to the community, and stay active while having fun with family and friends!

The Parker Valby Holiday Mile will donate a portion of the proceeds from the 2024 event to Clothes for Kids! This incredible organization provides new and gently used clothing, free of charge, to low-income and crisis-affected school-age children in Pinellas County. In light of the recent hurricanes and their impact on local families, we wanted to support an organization that can directly assist those in need during this challenging time. We encourage participants to make an additional donation _(if you are in a position to do so)_ to help even more children in need. Your generous contribution will ensure that even more kids receive the clothing they need to succeed in school and beyond. Thank you for helping make a difference!

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! Stay tuned for more details. This year we are offering a virtual option for those who wish to participate but are unable to make it.

The first 100 participants to arrive at the meet & greet on 12/20 will receive a FREE pair of New Balance shoes! (sizes based on availability | not available for virtual racers)
