The Sunset Mile
The Sunset Mile is an evening of paced one mile races held on the track on June 19, 2026, at Otterbein University's Memorial Stadium, 135 Center St, Westerville, OH 43081. The event groups runners into multiple paced heats so participants can aim for specific finishing times.
Heats are scheduled from slower to faster paces and pacers will be on the starting line of each heat to guide runners toward their goal times. The program includes time-targeted heats such as a 12+ minute mile heat, Sub-11, Sub-10, Sub-9, Sub-8, Sub-7, Sub-6, Sub-5:30 and Sub-5 minute heats, plus Elite Women's and Elite Men's heats. There are also additional later heats and an Elite Men heat listed separately.
Most one mile heats carry a $10 registration fee. The event also offers a 4x400 m relay that is free to enter. Organizers plan a shoe demo featuring several Nike racing flats and track spikes, including the Alphafly 3, Vaporfly 4, Streakfly 2, Dragonfly 2, and Air Zoom Victory 2. Music will be played and races are accompanied by trackside support and cheering.
