Your Mile. Your Way.
The Meck Mile presented by Albemarle brings people together from all across Charlotte to run, walk, skip or dance their way through the streets surrounding Memorial Stadium. This race gives participants and spectators alike the chance to hit the streets and see the city we call home from an entirely new perspective.
Whether you’re aiming to hit a new personal best, or are just looking for a unique active outing for the whole family, the Meck Mile presented by Albemarle is bringing Charlotte together to show who really runs (or walks) this city.
After the race we're throwing a party for all participants that includes a beer garden, concert stage, kids zone, sponsor activations and more!
To create the best event for everyone, we have created the following participant categories:
Recreational: You pick your pace and have an hour to walk, dance, run or stroll your way through the mile course. This part of the event is untimed.
Kids: We’re offering a “Kids Dash” on the field for kids 5 and under and a half mile loop for children 13 and under. Kids can race for free thanks to Albemarle. All kids get a medal for participating!
Competitive: Run in timed heats with other runners your pace. For participants who can complete a sub-12-minute mile.
Elite: For competitive runners who can complete a mile in sub-5 minutes for men and sub-6 mimutes for women. $2,000 prize purse.
Pro: For some of the fastest runners on the planet. $20,000 prize purse. Contact Charlotte Sports Foundation (miller@charlottesports.org) if interested in competing in this division.
All adult participants receive a t-shirt and medal, and children receive a special kids medal!
Packet pickup information will be provided at a later date.
