18th Annual Mickler Mile

It's Back!  The 18th Annual Mickler Mile is returning.   

The 1 mile race will take place on Monday, May 27th at 7am at the corner of Pope Road and Mickler Road. 

This year, Second Wind Timing will provide timing for those that register & donate $20 to ACRR's Youth Running Program.   

The donation includes a bib and the famous Mickler Mile T-shirt.   To reserve your bib and shirt please make sure you register by May 13th.   After that date, we cannot guarantee shirt size.  The race will be limited to 150 participants.   Bib and shirt pickup will be available prior to the race beginning at 6:30am at the starting line.  

Please be good neighbors and refrain from parking in residents' yard. Please park at Ron Parker Park or the STA Beach Pier and walk to the corner of Pope Road and Mickler Road - in front of the YMCA entrance.     Do not park on Pope Rd, Mickler Rd, or YMCA parking lot.   

This year we are dedicating the race to our dear friend Angel Baer.  

Angel is an active and beloved member of Ancient City Road Runners.  Her love of running and infectious smile have brought many great friends into her life from the St. Augustine community and beyond.  Unfortunately, earlier this year Angel suffered a tragic accident that resulted in her being paralyzed.  She is working hard with physical therapy to get stronger each session.  After 10 years of running The Gate River Run and securing multiple top 10% hats, this year she crossed the Brooks Challenge Mile finish line with dozens of runner friends supporting Team Angel.  This amazing accomplishment was only 8 days post follow-up surgery, this lady is a fighter!

In Angel's own words:

"For years, I have decorated my house with Christmas lights and climbed everywhere to accomplish any task I needed to, until one day I came crashing down and life changed in an instant. Doesn’t mean life ended, just changed. I challenge everyone to come on out to the Mickler Mile to celebrate the ability to run. Run for yourself, or run for those who can’t, but I encourage you to take every opportunity to live life to the fullest. Work hard, play hard, and love unconditionally.”

Please join us on May 27, 2024, to celebrate the ability to run and see how fast you can clock one mile!  All proceeds benefit our local community’s next generation of runners attending ACRR’s Summer Running Camp.
