Chocolate Milk Mile

On June 17th at 6:30 PM, runners will gather for the ultimate test of speed, endurance, and stomach strength: the Chocolate Milk Mile.

With four laps to race and four servings of chocolate milk to conquer, competitors will battle through burning lungs, churning stomachs, and fierce competition under the glow of a summer evening. Every lap raises the stakes as runners push their limits, chasing glory while the crowd roars them on.

More than just a race, the Chocolate Milk Mile is a legendary challenge where determination triumphs over discomfort, champions are crowned, and unforgettable stories are made one chocolate-fueled stride at a time.  

Proceeds of the event will be donated to the BsTrong Foundation, Inc.in memory of Todd A. Barton (see below)

Sign up as an individual or get a team together for the 4X400 race.

What is a chocolate mile you ask? Well, it's a mile race but you must drink a 12 ounce cup of creamy chocolate milk before each lap. That's right, drink a cup of milk run a lap times 4! 

If you are signing up for the 4X400 make sure you create a team name and make a password to share with your teammates. When they sign up to join your team they will need that password to join. If you are joining a team you do not need to make a team name just simply join the team you'd like and enter the private password.

Be sure to sign up for your correct desired division. Divisions and heats may be altered after registration based on the amount of participants.
