Graveyard Downhill Mile
July 25, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
| $12
We are inspired by the Rochester Mile and the McMullen Mile and would love to give Rochester more opportunities to run your best mile.
This is a fast downhill mile in the Mt. Hope Cemetery with very few turns.
The race day looks like this:
5:00 PM: Pre-race party – vendors and packet pickup at Rochester Running Company.
6:10 – 6:25 PM: Review of running mechanics – The importance of mid-foot striking and getting in shape before you run. By physical therapist Ryan Healey, DPT and Dan Geen, PT owners of GVPT
6:30 – 6:45 PM: Dynamic warm up by GVPT staff
7:00 PM: 1 Mile Downhill Mile Race in Mt. Hope Cemetery.
7:30 PM: Post-race party – At Grappa – kick the keg with $2.50 beers, light snacks and food/other beverages available to order.
This is meant to be a low-cost event but enjoying getting out with friends and seeing how fast you can run a mile or, if this is your first mile, to prove to yourself you can!
