It’s timed and it’s going to be fast. Welcome to the Governor’s Cup mile run, a quick course that is sure to create PRs and get people ready for the 5K or 10K later that morning. Or folks can enjoy a nice morning jog or walk downtown with family and friends. The course begins at the traditional Governor’s Cup starting line, and runners will sprint down Cruse. A short distance after Cruse and Broadway, runners will turn around and head back to Broadway. From there, it’s a left down to Last Chance Gulch and then a sprint to the finish line.
Runners can sign up for either the 5K or 10K and add the mile for just $10.
