About the Argonaut Mile: The mile race is for anyone 7 and up. We will have a “Little Mile” for kids 6 and under. The little mile will be the first event on the track and will consists of a lap around the track. Runners will receive a medal for finishing. Little Mile participants will not need to register but will need to sign the waiver on race day.
We will have multiple heats depending upon the amount signed up to run. Plan to have no more than 25 runners in each heat and each heat will be based on the predicted time when registering.
We expect the races to conclude around noon and we invite all runners to participate in the Argo’s Day of Play, which will be in the same general area up towards the baseball/softball fields. There will be bounce houses, laser tag, games, vendors, and everyone will get in free to the baseball and softball games at 1pm.
Awards/Medals: All runners in the Argo Mile will receive a finisher’s medal.
Top ten male and top ten female will win prizes (gift cards, UWF swag, etc.)
