Grand Blue Mile

Recreational

Your race. Your pace. Your mile.

The Recreational division is family friendly, designed for casual joggers, walkers, and all athletes in between. In fact, recreational participants have ranged in age from 1 – 96, making this division Grand Blue Mile’s largest and most diverse.

While all ages and abilities are welcome to participate in the recreational division, it’s especially recommended for families and those running above a 10-minute pace.

Feeling competitive on race day? No problem. Even if you register to participate in the recreational division, you’re free to run in the competitive division if you choose – your tag will automatically register your time!

Competitive

Feeling fast? Prove it!

The Grand Blue Mile’s competitive division is the perfect option for amateur runners looking to test their mile time against the best in the Midwest.

While all ages and abilities are welcome to participate in the competitive division, it’s especially recommended for sub-8-minute milers and those running for new PRs.
