The MILE - Sarasota
The MILE is a 12-hour endurance trail event held at Celery Fields in Sarasota, Florida. It uses a last-runner-standing format: participants run repeated one-mile laps and must return to the start within a 17 minute cutoff for each lap. Missing the cutoff removes a runner from the competition. The cutoff time may be adjusted as needed.
The course follows trails and includes hilly terrain with open views of the Celery Fields. The event description notes that night conditions and nearby wildlife can be part of the setting; participants may hear the roar of the big cats as the event continues into evening hours.
Event specifics listed by the organizer include a race distance entry labeled as 50 Miles, registration opening 9/13/2026 and closing 9/16/2026, a registration fee of $75.00, and a field limit of 150 spots. The venue address is 6893 Palmer Blvd, Sarasota, FL 34240.
The rules center on repeating the one-mile lap under the 17 minute cutoff until only remaining competitors continue. The format emphasizes repeated short laps on trail terrain rather than a single long continuous course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
