About The Race

The Miracle Mile is a 1 mile down hill race for Runners and Walkers. Registration check in starts at 4:00 pm and goes to 5:30 pm, with the gun firing at 6:00 pm for runners AND walkers. The event parking and registration has been made possible by Military Street Baptist Church, located at 307 Military St.  The starting line is at the intersection of Grant St. and Military St. down the hill from the church.  Runners will line up facing west towards downtown Houlton and continue down the hill.  Once past St. Mary's Church on the right, racers will be at a five way intersection where they will have to bear a slight right onto Main St. From here the race follows Main St. into Houlton’s historic Market Square. The finish line is located just before Main St. splits and crosses Court/Water streets.

After the event racers are invited to the finish line where a reception and award ceremony will be held. Refreshments will be made available.

The race will also serve as the opening event of Houlton’s Midnight Madness festival, an annual gathering of local communities to kick off the 4th of July weekend. Participants are invited to partake in all festivities after the Miracle Mile as the night would only just be getting started.
