Organiser's Description
This event has been postponed, having a new date of September 6th.
This event will be a 1 Mile race on the track at CHASE High School hosted by the CHASE High School Cross Country team. The race will be run under the stadium lights Saturday evening September 6th. Come join us and race your friends and test your speed over the shorter 1 mile distance.
Due to the limited number of runners that can easily run around the track at one time this race will be split into several heats based on estimated finish time, runners will be placed in heats with other runners with similar estimated finish times. The goal of this is to reduce the number of runners that get lapped and to allow for a more enjoyable experience for runners of all ability levels. Total heat number and start times will be determined closer to the date of the race based on the number of runners entered.
