About The Race
This is the 35th annual edition of the Loudoun Street Mile which traverses Loudoun Street in Historic Old Town Winchester, Virginia. This years race will serve as the RRCA National Championship Race as well the Collegiate Running Association Championship race.
FORMAT: The race will be run in waves of approximately 50 runners each. The Top 50 men will run first at 8:30, followed by the Top 50 women at 8:40. The remaining waves will also be seeded through 6:00 for men and 7:00 for women. Those will then be followed by random waves of approximately 50 people. This will allow families to run together.
