Description
The Big Chief Tire One Mile Championships presented by PRS Running Club are back for its 10th year. The 2014 event saw some amazing fast times with a 4:05.2 men's winner and the fastest women's time was recorded in 2015 with a 4:53.4 mile. The 2016 race was also exciting as the top 5 men were within 5 secs of each other and the women's race saw the first 3 women run faster than 5:03. The 2024 course returns to the Fishweir Brewing venue with a fast course perfect for setting new records. The race will be run in multiple waves giving runners the options to choose the wave that fits them the best. Any pace, any ability, any age are all welcome as there is a wave for everyone.
