Join Us for the 3rd Annual Elmhurst Mile Race!

Elmhurst is back! We are spacing out our premier Mile race experiences.

Elmhurst Mile to start Summer 2026

Jackson Heights Mile & Relay to end Summer 2026

Elmhurst is back! Last year, we took a massive leap forward in delivering a proper Elmhurst Mile race event. A course that went from a looped route to a point to point course, and was in partnership with Elmhurst Hospital. Let's do it again!

Whether you're a seasoned runner seeking a new challenge or a first-timer excited to take those initial steps, the Elmhurst Mile welcomes participants of all levels. It's not just a race; it's a shared experience that unites us in the joy of pushing boundaries and achieving milestones together.

Come soak in the vibrant atmosphere, cheer on fellow runners, and relish the sense of accomplishment as you cross the finish line.
