Whether you're chasing a personal record, competing for prize money, or simply looking to experience the thrill of an all-out mile, the Foundry Mile delivers a fast course, an energetic atmosphere, and fierce competition.

This year features two divisions:

Open Division
Open to runners of all ages and abilities who want to test themselves over one fast mile. All Open Division participants compete together in a single race, regardless of age or gender. The first five runners across the finish line will earn cash prizes.
