Runners,

It’s been a great Pop Up Miles season, but all good things come to an end. This is the last week to join us for some fun before we get to Tour de Walter season!

You have 2 chances to run with us this week! Tuesday at Williams Stadium again (400m is the bonus event) and Friday at Meredith College for the Sir Walter Qualifer, home of the Sir Walter Miler! Details are below the Pop Up Miles logo below.

The Sir Walter Qualifier is Friday and is open to everyone (with an after-party)!

Wondering who may run the 2025 Sir Walter Miler locally? See below! If you’re on this list, let us know if you plan to run (or not)! If you run under the 10th time on this list Tuesday, you’re in. No one gets bumped!
