About the race
The Minnesota Mile is an annual one-mile road race organized by the Young Athletes Foundation in Duluth, Minnesota. The event uses a loop course that starts and finishes near Enger Park and runs through sections that showcase the Duluth skyline and Lake Superior. The course distance is 5,280 feet.
The race is organized in separate heats to reduce congestion and includes recreational and competitive heats, plus a masters category for older runners. Awards are given to top finishers in competitive and masters heats and to top finishers across all age groups; team awards are presented to the fastest teams in each category and are mailed to the team captain. Team categories include All Female, All Male, Mixed, and Corporate, and teams must have at least three members.
Event logistics include packet pickup at the Grandma’s Marathon office and at Enger Park Golf Course, a shuttle between Lake Superior College and Enger Park on race day, and limited parking at several nearby locations. Participant amenities include a commemorative long sleeve shirt with entry, an option to purchase commemorative socks, post-race refreshments of water, bananas, and chips, and an option to forgo a shirt in favor of a tree-planting donation. The Young Athletes Foundation reports over $1.8 million in community support to date. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
