13th ANNUAL CARLISLE DOWNTOWN MILE
This year we are celebrating 13 years of the Carlisle Downtown Mile with race day May 16, 2024. In addition to the race on May 16th, we will have a virtual component of the race like last year. The Virtual Race will run from May 11-16, 2024.
The Carlisle Downtown Mile is a fundraiser for Employment Skills Center that provides adult education and training. All of our programs and classes are offered without charge. Those programs range from basic literacy skills; to course work, tutoring, and testing for the high school equivalency diploma; to workforce development including nurse aide training, and success academy.
Awards will be given for the top three male and female finishers in each age group category. Awards will also be given to the top three finishing teams in each Team Challenge Category: Corporate, Education, Non-Profit/Government, Healthcare and Serve/Protect. In addition, there will be awards for the overall fastest female and male runners provided by Appalachian Running Company. Fun run participants age 13 and under will receive participant medals. The awards ceremony will take place after the last race has finished and results are completed.

You can do that anytime from May 11th through May 16th. Then enter your time on RunSignUp.
