About GTC Memorial Day Mile

The third annual GTC Memorial Day Mile will be held next Memorial Day (Monday, May 25, 2026).
As a serious 1-mile race (rather than a "fun run"), it is in good alignment with a national movement afoot - to Bring Back the Mile - America's distance (1-2). The event also acknowledges our fallen service members on Memorial Day for their sacrifice in protecting the United States.  
The race route is the same as it has been for each year prior. It is flat, USATF certified, and will begin in groups based on runners' estimated finish times.
