The Martinsville MileSaturday, July 20, 2024The MARTINSVILLE MILE 2024 will mark Miles in
Martinsville’s 6th consecutive one mile road race.
This event is a salute
to the historical allure of the one mile run. What runner isn’t familiar
with the first sub 4 minute mile run by Sir Roger Bannister. Typically,
runners experience the one mile run only as part of a track meet. Most
often at a high school or college track team event. This race will not be
run on a standard 400 meter track but rather at a unique venue. The one mile
course be on a downhill section of the area’s iconic Dick & Willie Passage
Trail.
The race will start near
the intersection of the Uptown Connection Trail and the Dick & Willie Trail. All ages, all speeds welcome. We are
planning two heats. One for the speed demons and one for us normal folks. Check out the course by clicking on the ROUTE
