From the organizers
Mind Over Miles is a community endurance event unlike a traditional race.
Beginning at the top of each hour, participants have the opportunity to complete a 4.2-mile loop. When you finish, you'll have the remainder of the hour to rest, refuel, connect with others, or cheer on fellow participants before the next loop begins.
You choose your challenge:
Complete one loop (4.2 miles)
Run several loops throughout the day
Or take on the ultimate challenge by completing 12 loops for approximately 50 miles
