From the Race Organizer
The Downtown Mile is presented by Team Run Flagstaff. In advance of the annual 4th of July parade, 6 waves of competitors will cover an iconic Mile on the actual parade route. The two-loop course heads north San Francisco, west on Cherry, south on Beaver, and west on Aspen to repeat the loop and finish. The race includes six Mile events categories: Masters Women and Masters Men (40+), Citizen Men and Women (all ages), Elite Men and Women (competing for a cash purse) and the half-mile (one loop) highlight- the Kids Race. In addition to the Elite prizes, Awards will be presented for Overall and Age Group top finishers in each category.
