The Minnesota Mile is the 19th annual one mile road race held in Duluth, Minnesota, with a start and finish near Enger Park. The loop course covers 5,280 feet and runs along sections that showcase Duluths skyline and Lake Superior. The event is presented by the Young Athletes Foundation.
Registration for the event is limited to 600 participants and is handled on a first come, first served basis. Packet pickup is available at the Grandma’s Marathon office and at Enger Park Golf Course in the days before the race. Bib numbers are assigned dynamically at packet pickup.
Runners are organized into separate heats to reduce congestion. Heats are grouped by goal pace and include recreational heats as well as competitive and masters competitive categories. Team competition is offered; each team must include at least three members and team categories include All Female, All Male, Mixed, and Corporate. Team awards are mailed to the team captain after the event.
Post race refreshments include water, bananas, and chips. Participants receive a commemorative long sleeve shirt with entry; commemorative socks are available for purchase. A raffle is offered with a grand prize gift certificate. The Young Athletes Foundation reports more than $1.8 million contributed to community programs through grants, shoe programs, and scholarships.
