The Big Chief Tire One Mile Championships presented by PRS Running Club are back for its 9th year. The 2014 event saw some amazing fast times with a 4:05.2 men's winner and the fastest women's time was recorded in 2015 with a 4:53.4 mile. The 2016 race was also exciting as the top 5 men were within 5 secs of each other and the women's race saw the first 3 women run faster than 5:03. The 2021 course returns to the Fishweir Brewing venue with a fast course perfect for setting new records. The race will be run in multiple waves giving runners the options to choose the wave that fits them the best. Any pace, any ability, any age are all welcome as there is a wave for everyone.
This race will be run in multiple waves to give people of all levels and abilities the chance to take home an award.
All participants get a Trucker Hat and the race will be chip timed by North Florida’s premier race timing company, Second Wind Race Timing.
Following the race there will be an awesome post-race party at Fishweir Brewery. The race course is perfect for spectating so, before or after your wave goes off, you can watch your friends’ race the mile.
This years events will include a beer mile and a mimosa mile. Rules will be shared soon.
This year we will also be having a post-race party courtesy. Along with a few novelty races. YES we are bringing back the Piggy Back 200m, as well as the Beer Stein Challenge.
