Milwaukie Mile

Welcome to the third annual Milwaukie Mile! Our goal is to provide a safe and fast course for all members of the community to race their pace and set a new personal best in the mile! The course runs gently downhill along the Trolley Trail, starting at the Park Avenue Max Station and finishing in Milwaukie Bay Park. The race will be held the morning of Saturday July 11th, 2026.
