The Downtown Mile for CASA

The Downtown Mile for CASA is excited to announce multiple changes for the race this year! First, this year requires course recertification. As part of this process, we will be updating the course route. Many of our race runners will certainly achieve their Official PR mile on the fast, point to point course.  Second, heroes and villains get ready to race! This years family fun wave is changing to a "Superhero Run". The final update for this year will be an addition of a virtual RUN/WALK challenge. Virtual participants will be able to compete by logging the most miles between May 01, 2024 and September 7th, 2024.

Please join us and support Rappahannock Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) on Saturday, September 7th, 2024. All proceeds will benefit the Rappahannock Area CASA, a local non-profit organization that supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so that every child who has experienced abuse or neglect can be safe, have a permanent home, and have the opportunity to thrive. Visit rappahannockcasa.com for more information. This is a fun, downtown, evening race with a fun post-race atmosphere at a new location!
