The Mile & Kids Half
One mile. All ages. Every pace.
Run or walk the one-mile course on its own, or make it the final chapter of a young athlete’s Kids Half Marathon.
The Mile
Run or walk one complete mile. Children register individually, and parents may accompany registered children at no charge. Registered Mile runners receive an event shirt at packet pickup, a bib with timing tag and the blue-ribbon Mile medal after finishing.
Kids Half
Complete 12.1 training miles before race day, then run the final mile for a full 13.1-mile achievement. Kids Half runners receive a bib with timing tag at packet pickup; their special shirt is earned after the finish.
Earn the Moment
Kids Half finishers receive the yellow-ribbon Half Marathon medal. After the race, check off the final mile on the training log and show it to Selena under the white tent(s) to receive the Kids Half finisher’s shirt. There are no awards for either event.
A mile for everyone
The Mile Course
The 1-mile start is in the green courtyard in front of Smart Financial Centre. Both events use this same timed course. Pick up your bib before the race and have it pinned to the front of your clothing at the start by 9:45 AM for announcements. Kids Half participants complete 12.1 miles before race day, then finish their final mile here with the crowd.
Hydration Stations & Restrooms
- Start & FinishPlenty of water and restrooms are available in the start/finish-line area.
- On the CourseThere are no on-course hydration stations or restrooms.
Locations and available items may shift slightly on race day.
Arrive ready to run.
We strongly recommend picking up packets Friday or Saturday from 12:00–7:00 PM at Talyard Brewing Co. If needed, registered Mile and Kids Half runners may pick up Sunday morning without the extra race-morning pickup fee. Please wait until after the Half Marathon and 10K have started at 7:30 AM, and complete pickup by 9:30 AM.
The Mile is open to all ages. The Kids Half challenge is designed for children ages 6 through 13. General packet-pickup instructions elsewhere may be written for Half Marathon and 10K runners; Mile and Kids Half participants should follow the event-specific instructions on this page.
Kids Half participants use the official training log to build their distance before race morning. Bring the log and your bib with timing tag to the event.
Have your bib pinned to the front of your clothing and be in the green courtyard start area by 9:45 AM for announcements before the 10:00 AM start.
After finishing, check off the last mile on the Kids Half training log and show it to Selena under the white tent(s) to receive the special finisher’s shirt. All registered runners receive their event medal at the finish.
Make this mile count.
