Event Format

The Mile is an endurance running event with a "last runner standing" format. Participants must complete a 1-mile loop within a set time interval, currently 17 minutes. A horn signals the start of each new loop. Runners must return to the start before the next horn sounds; failure to do so results in elimination. The event continues, loop after loop, until only one runner remains.

Course and Location

The event takes place on the trails of Kinsey Park in Peoria, Illinois. The course is a 1-mile loop.

Participant Information

The organizer provides a gallon of water per runner and snacks at the start/loop area. Participants must bring their own additional nutrition and gear. The winner receives a unique trophy.
