Event Description
Enjoy a late summer, early evening race through the historic Delaware Northwest Neighborhood. Our one-mile course starts at the top of Lincoln Ave., near the Delaware Hayes tennis courts. Runners will follow a straight course through a beautiful neighborhood lined with cheering spectators. The last 1/2 mile is downhill as the race finishes in Mingo Park. Multiple heats include high school, community, and elite races.

We have a variety of races for you to choose from, but how do you know which is right for you? Here is our guideline to help you pick the right one for you!
High School Challenge Mile
The perfect test of your summer training right before XC season starts! Run as an individual high school runner or get a team together and compete on a great course through the shaded streets of Delaware. The downhill finish into Mingo Park will be the boost you need to head into the season! XC scoring for teams of 3 or more, see where you line up with Central Ohio's best.

This event is for students aged 12-18.
Community Mile
Open to anyone! From our youngest milers in Central Ohio to those who have thousands of miles under their legs, the Community Mile is for everyone! We suggest a minimum age of 7 to participate, but if you have a younger runner who can complete a mile, they're welcome, too.
Elite Women's and Men's Miles
We'll have separate elite heats to determine the fastest women and men around. There are no age limits, but we do suggest that athletes in these heats should meet these qualifying times:
- Elite women should be able to run a 5:45 mile or faster
- Elite men should be able to run a 5:00 mile or faster
Interested in the Elite Miles?
We have a few complementary registrations available for each of the elite women's and men's mile events. If you think one of those spots should belong to you, email us at XXX@EMAIL.COM with your name and a link to a recent race result so our team can review and let you know of your status (OR FILL OUT A FORM, WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE).
