The Spring Street Mile features separate races for men and women and is a POINT-TO-POINT COURSE. That means the race starts 1-mile from where it finishes. Our check-in area is near the finish line so please plan accordingly. Restrooms are also one-mile away from the mile start. The Spring Street Mile leaders will be extremely fast, we ask everyone to be humble about their start position and we will ask the fastest runners to start on the line. The 5k may also be fast, but you have a little more time to establish a position. We are pleased to once again be part of the USA Track & Field - Connecticut Road Racing Grand Prix circuit! You do NOT need to be competitive or be a member of USATF to participate. All are welcome to this exciting and fast challenge!

The Spring Street Mile is followed by the HALFWAY TO TURKEY DAY 5K, you are welcome to compete in both and discounts are available to those who elect both events. The 5k features a rolling-loop course https://ridewithgps.com/routes/11801623 and the final mile is all downhill!

Other Notes:
- Please register in advance; we will offer paperless race-day registration, but we highly encourage everyone to register in advance. Race day pricing will reflect this encouragement.
- No cash accepted on race day.
