The Bottone Mile is absolutely FREE and donations are completely optional. We absorb the cost of liability insurance, rental of pavilion and race course, first aid supplies, equipment, food and drink, etc., and we host all of our free summer events as a way to give back to the community. Having said that, if you would like to help defray costs and make a optional donation to our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the option is here. We are an all-volunteer staff, and all of our net proceeds go back into youth running and annual scholarship program for local high school seniors.
