Are you wondering what race to enter? Let us help you…
Kid’s Race (10 & Under) – Due to the participant’s ages of this race, this will be closer to a half mile.
Open Race – All ages and ability levels welcome.
Elite Race – This race will be fast and more for the competitive level runner. These athletes may have qualified for Boston or run under a 5 to 7-minute mile. Top three male and female finishers will be the only awards given out for this race.
If you are interested in running the Elite Race and have questions, please e-mail us at info@thegoosechase.org and include a brief bio in the e-mail.
This course is a USATF-Certified one-mile course. This will be a fast course and a great opportunity to set a PR, PB or state record.

SHOE DRIVE
Last year we started this donation process and we have decided to continue it. We love giving to this group and sending the kids shoes that they may not get otherwise. Please consider donating new or gently used running shoes for the kids in Belize at the Downtown Mile on June 7. These items will benefit the Seine Bight Running Club. The drop off location will be at Yee Haw Brewing during the event.
** Please, please, please bring shoes ready to ship. (i.e, cleaned/gently worn or new) Thank you in advance for your help and support for these kids.
