The Milkshake Mile is a rain or shine event, so come prepared! If there happens to be a natural disaster or severe weather issue, participants will be notified the following ways:

• Participants can check the event homepage. All information concerning the race will be updated throughout the day.
• Follow us on Facebook for up-to-date information on race day, as well as information leading up to the event.

Yes, that's what the Fun 1-Mile Run/Walk is all about! The Milkshake Mile brings together an eclectic mix of participants, ranging from competitive runners to families and active seniors. The Fun 1-Mile Run/Walk heat starts at 10:00am and will not be timed.

For timed heats, the bib race numbers will already have the timing chip attached to them and will be in your packet when you pick it up. If you do not wear your bib race number for your heat, your time will not be recorded.

The chip is already attached to your race bib, you just have to make sure you wear it. You must wear your bib race number on the front of your shirt or shorts in a visible location. Safety pins are provided to secure your bib. Please do not fold the number because it may damage the transponder.

Special electronic mats will be placed at both the start and finish lines. As each participant crosses the starting line mats, their individual time is recorded. Then, their time is also recorded as they cross the finish line. The finish line computer system then subtracts the starting time from the finish time and creates a new "net time" or "chip time." The chip timing method compensates for any lost time that runners in the back of the starting pack experienced at the starting line.

That is fine, but make sure you do not wear your race bib with the timing chip during the Fun Run or the Half Pint. Timing chips are "one and done," meaning that once they are triggered by crossing a timing mat, they will not record again. If you cross the starting line and/or the finish line during the Half Pint with your bib, then it will not register when you complete your age group heat, so please be aware of this.

We would always rather you be with your child during the Fun Run/Walk and Half Pint! The support adds to their victory and the pictures are always adorable.

Yes, we do allow bib transfers. Please see the Deferrals and Bib Transfers section for more information.

Due to safety concerns along the course, participants are not permitted to race with their furry friends.
