Meck Mile offers race experience for runners of all levels

CHARLOTTE — Whether you want to beat your own personal record or you want to reach the finish line at your own pace, the Meck Mile is inviting you to participate in a new running event taking place in Charlotte.

The Charlotte Sports Foundation and Albemarle Corporation are organizing the family-friendly event set for May 25. It’s not a marathon -- it’s a single-mile race on the streets surrounding American Legion Memorial Stadium.

CSF says there are several categories for participants, from the “pick-your-pace” recreational category to the pro category.

There’s even a special “Kids Dash” for children ages five and younger and a half-mile loop for children 13 and younger. Both of those categories are free to enter while spots are available.

>>Channel 9 will also broadcast a special one-hour show starting at 7 p.m. Saturday. You can watch on-air and online with our apps or at WSOCTV.com.

Registration is open, and the price depends on the category you choose.
