Surprise birthday mile at Edwards Stadium
On May 2, 2026 the stadium at UC Berkeley will host a surprise birthday celebration built around a one-mile track race. The event includes a solo one-mile race and a team relay, both staged on the track at Edwards Stadium.
Distances:
- 1 Mile (four laps)
- 4x400m relay, four runners each running 400 m
Heats for the one-mile race will be seeded by projected finish time so participants are grouped by pace. An official timer will be on site to record results. The relay requires baton exchanges between the four runners on each team.
Entry for the one-mile event is $19.86. Registration is limited to the first 600 runners. Registration windows listed by the organizer are: one-mile registration opens 2026-01-19 and closes 2026-04-20; relay registration opens 2026-03-10 and closes 2026-04-20.
