BEE CITY UpTown Martinsville MileSaturday, July 16, 2022![]() BEE CITY UpTown Martinsville 7:00pm raceThe UpTown
Martinsville Mile is now the BEE
CITY UpTown Martinsville Mile Run.
In March, 2021, City Council, in response to a proposal by the
Martinsville Garden Club, passed a resolution designating the city as an
affiliate of BEE CITY USA. This designation
recognizes the critical importance of sustaining pollinators in our environment. Miles in Martinsville felt it appropriate to
salute this effort by creating a “BEE” theme around our annual road mile run.
This event is also 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 BEE CITY UpTown
Martinsville Mile Run will be conducted on a two lap course around the
streets of UpTown Martinsville. All ages, All speeds welcome.
We are planning two heats. One for the speed demons and one for us normal
folks. ONLINE REGISTRATION
