Organiser's Description
With dangerously cold temperatures expected this weekend (forecasted wind chills near 20^0), we have made the difficult decision to cancel the in-person Main Street Mile for the safety of our runners and our volunteers. Our race timer and volunteer team would be potentially need to be outside for over an hour for setup and their shifts, and we are not comfortable putting anyone in that position. As much as we love a good Minnesota winter race, these conditions are simply not safe or enjoyable.
We are shifting to a virtual option so you can still earn your finisher medal and complete your mile on your own timeoutside, of course, in true Main Street Mile fashion! The temperature you choose to run in is completely up to you.

Main Street Mile is a 1 mile race around the downtown Annandale area and finishing in front of City Hall. This is a family-friendly event for runners of all abilities.
Bring your friends, your coworkers, your family, or strangers to run your fastest mile and possibly compete for some cool and unique awards.
A portion of race proceeds will be donated to help the community. This will primarily be to students at Annandale schools, but also to the Annandale volunteer Police Officers. The Main Street Mile is 2 weeks before Christmas and this will be a great time to donate money to kids in our community who could use help. The Annandale volunteer reserve officers will be volunteering their time to make sure this is a successful and safe event.
