The Festival of the Mile event is aimed at every type of runner, it has been designed to be fun and have a festival vibe. We want to welcome runners (solo and teams) of all abilities to take on a series of mile long running (and beer chugging) challenges!

The event combines pure running with equalised running (handicap race) before the almighty Randalls Beer Mile, bringing the event to a spectacular finish! 

In addition, the Mascott 400m race will return for it's fourth year! All mascots welcome, as long as they can run 400m!
