Organiser's description
Run Group Mile Challenge
This is the shortest fatass you'll ever run.
What is a fatass you ask?
A fatass is a free or super cheap, no frills run. You'll find these special runs within many ultra running communities.
The Run Group Mile Challenge is that. An unsanctioned, unofficial, untimed 1 mile challenge. Ya'll can time yourself with your fancy watches. Run as fast as you want, or not. No one cares. There will be no awards and no t-shirts, just bragging rights and maybe a bottle of water.
I've temporarily retired from ultra running and I've found I kinda-sorta like racing the mile distance. Unfortunately, there aren't a ton of opportunities to do this and when there are, it's a mad dash through a sea of children.
If this 1 mile challenge sounds fun to you, join us!
