Miles on Main Series - The Revolutionary Run

We are proud to announce race courses for our Miles on Main Street that have been crafted to avoid route confusion.  We will have two out-and-back courses that will hopefully allow you to feel the support of your fellow runners. Course Maps and Elevation Profiles provided below.  Start and End at the Mini Park on Main - see you on Main Street July 2! 

1 MILE SPARKLER

It’s your time to shine like a sparkler on beautiful Main Street, Tazewell, Virginia. Walk or run this 4th of July themed event!  Like our forefathers, you will head west from the start and finish line at the Mini Park on Main.  Instead of crossing the Atlantic, you will be crossing Main Street. As you descend on West Main Street, you’ll be surrounded by the tranquility that our Main Street offers during the summer.  What could be more American than baseball?!  It’s batter up as you reach the halfway point around the Little League Fields. As you tackle the big hill back to central Main Street, watch out for a surprise!  Finish strong, as you race towards the finish line back at the library.  Victory is yours!  ‘MERICA! If you plan to walk entirely, please choose this race option. 

4 Cracker

Like our forefathers, you will head west from the start line at Tazewell County Public Library.  Instead of crossing the Atlantic, you will be crossing beautiful Main Street, Tazewell, Virginia.  The first leg of this journey, at just a little over one mile, is a steady decline in elevation to help you establish your race pace.  For the next mile, you will encounter some rocky waves. Once you have crossed the pond--Seven Springs Trout Pond, that is--or in this case passed beside it on the road, you are almost to the 2 mile turn around spot. As you turn around, prepare for battle and charge the enemy full steam ahead, declining and then suddenly facing some challenging hills on your way back to Main Street.  Be prepared for enemy fire (hills) as you begin your final ascent onto central Main Street!  Alas, you are at the final stretch and can sprint across the finish line back at the mini park.  Victory is yours!  ‘MERICA! Running, or Run/Walking encouraged! Run/Walkers are asked to try to maintain a 16:00 min/mile pace.

As these are road races, please be extra careful!  We will have electronic event announcement boards the week prior and during the race to alert drivers to watch out for racers, as well as volunteers and available town police officers who help to monitor traffic on the road.  Nonetheless, you are assuming all risks associated with a road race and we encourage you to take all precautions necessary, such as being alert to oncoming traffic and refraining from wearing earbuds on portions of the course where there is traffic.  With that said, be safe and have fun!  Let’s make the Second Annual Revolutionary Run a fun way to kick-off the 4th of July Weekend!
