The Summer of Miles is BACK for 2025!
Join Sir Walter Running this June and beyond!
It’s “Bannister Day” and what could be a more appropriate day to announce the return of the Summer of Miles? That’s right. The Summer events you’ve known to grow and love over the past 10+ years are back. We hope you’ll join us!
Pop Up Miles
Tuesdays in June we’ll be back again at Williams Stadium. You know the drill. 7pm start. Over 5:30 mile. Under 5:30 Mile. Bonus event. 4x400 relay. Bring a $5 recommended donation and leave your dog at home. Finish it up with the Sir Walter Qualifier on the last Friday of June at Meredith. Men’s and Women’s Winner goes on to the Sir Walter Miler. Details are here. And buy a t-shirt!
Tour de Walter
What started before Strava became a dating app is back! Each week we’ll have a challenge. The times add up and there’s usually a koozie in it for you, and a virtual maillot jaune (yellow jersey) and prizes for the winners (and random drawings) each week. Details are here.
Sir Walter Miler
If you’re here, you know about the Miler! Expect a whole week of fun activities that will lead up to the 12th iteration of the annual event. Details are here.
