Minnesota Mile
The Minnesota Mile is an annual one mile (5,280 feet) road race held in Duluth, Minnesota. The course starts and finishes near Enger Park and follows a loop that includes views of the Duluth skyline and Lake Superior.
The event is organized with multiple heats to reduce congestion. Heat categories include family and youth, recreational, masters, and open competitive fields, with recommended paces for each group. Awards are given to top finishers in competitive and masters heats, top finishers in recreational heats, and top finishers across detailed age divisions; team awards are also presented and will be mailed to the team captain.
Registration is limited to a capacity of 800 participants and is taken on a first come, first served basis. Entry fees for adults vary by date, and youth entries (ages 18 and under) are free for 2026. All registered participants receive a commemorative long sleeve shirt with the option to decline the shirt and plant a tree through a local reforestation partner. Commemorative socks are available for purchase.
Packet pickup is available at the Grandma’s Marathon office and at Enger Park Golf Course on the days before the race. A shuttle runs between Lake Superior College and Enger Park on race day. Post race refreshments include water, bananas, and chips; reusable cups are provided at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
