EVENT INFO
The Downtown Yakima Mile is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2020. Runners of all ages and abilities will take over Yakima Avenue beginning at 5:30 p.m. that day to race their fastest mile from start to finish on one of the city’s busiest streets.
The Downtown Yakima Mile, which benefits the Yakima School District, is a timed one-mile race that opens a 14-block gradual downhill stretch of Yakima Avenue to runners of all ages and abilities. The event features 11 heats -- from elite athletes to tiny tots -- with more than $25,000 in prizes for elite milers.
