From the organizer
Part of the mission of the Festival of Miles Foundation is to showcase the sport of running at all levels and what better way to do that than to give kids the chance to run a mile themselves.

Healthy Kids Mile (K – 5th graders) Middle School Mile (6th-8th graders) Junior High Invitational Miles (invite-only 6th-8th graders who have signed up for the Middle School Mile)
