1 Mile Race Info
The Start
The 1 Mile event is scheduled to start at 7:00 AM. We may start it a couple of minutes late if the 10K crowd is spilling over onto the 1M course.
The Course
The I Mile Fun Run stays entirely within Kiwanis Park. Ninety percent of the run is on grass. This makes it a real challenge for strollers or anything that has wheels. We don’t recommend pushing the kiddies on this one! The race starts along side of the Finish line and runs the perimeter of the Kiwanis park, including the ball diamond on the west side of the park. The last 200 yards are back on pavement where you can sprint to the finish line.

Awards
Overall awards are given to the top three male and female finishers. These are really nice awards! In addition we have age group awards in the following categories: 1-3,4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14 and over. With the race starting at 7:00, we hope to start doing awards at 7:40 at our band stand.
Timing
Timing is done via “chip” timing. Each participant will receive an RFID chip that they will ziptie to their shoe. This technology allows us to capture your time from the start gun till when you cross the finish line. Make sure you don’t lose you chip. We need them back at the end of the race!
Finisher Medals
We will have finisher medals again this year. We didn’t have them last year because we did water bottle instead. Many folks requested that we bring them back. So, we did. They are super cool with a built in spinner and keyring.
Post Race Food
We will load up on post-race refreshments. It is tough to have a full selection of everything by the end of the race. No guarantees, but we will do our best to keep everything stocked to the very end.
Strollers
We really discourage wheeled devises for the 1 Mile Fun Run. They are just too hard to push on the grass, and there is a curb to get over. However, if you insist on doing it, just remember… we warned you… We require that you start at the back of the pack. Strollers can really jam up the works and we really don’t want any collisions between runners and strollers. Please be very attentive of all the runners and walkers around you.
