Dick and Willie One Mile RunSaturday, August 5, 2023  Route Map 2023 will mark Miles in Martinsville’s 5th
consecutive one mile road race. This
year’s Martinsville Mile will be known as the Dick & Willie One Mile Run.
This event is a salute to the historical
allure of the one mile run. What runner isn’t familiar with the first sub
4 minute mile run by Sir Roger Bannister. Typically, runners experience
the one mile run only as part of a track meet. Most often at a high
school or college track team event. This race will not be run on a
standard 400 meter track but rather at a unique venue. The one mile course be
on a downhill section of the area’s iconic Dick & Willie Passage Trail.
The race will start at the intersection of the
Uptown Connection Trail and the Dick & Willie Trail. All ages, All speeds welcome. We are
planning two heats. One for the speed demons and one for us normal folks. Check out the course by clicking on the ROUTE
