Macklind Avenue Mile

Without a doubt the Macklind Avenue Mile is one of St. Louis' most unique races. Put on by Big River Running Company, it is the area's largest one mile road race with nearly 1,500 registrants in 2011. This year the event will take place on Saturday June 30th, 2012.
The race is a ton of fun and will kick off Macklind Days, an annual South City neighbrhhood festival.
"Totally Rad" Macklind Avenue Mile Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers as well as the top three in each male and female age division.
The Post-Race party has always been one of the highlights of the Macklind Mile and this year we're again taking things to a whole new level with a post-race concert. The band will play from 10:30 to noon on Macklind Avenue. You won't want to miss it!
If you want to run with your children or your significant other be sure to sign up for the 2nd annual friends and family wave!
Pets are welcome!
Make sure and stick around for the festival that includes music, food, beer and face-painting for the kids!
The Kids quarter mile dash was a huge hit last year and it's back for 2012! The race will begin at 10:10 near the intersection of Winona and Macklind. All finishers will receive a ribbon. We do have youth shirt sizes to accommodate all of our younger participants.
