From the Organizer
The 4th annual GTC Memorial Day - Honor Tower Mile will be held on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, 2027. The event pays tribute to our fallen service members, and to our first responders.
As a competitive 1-mile race, it is in good alignment with a national movement afoot - to Bring Back the Mile - America's distance (1-2).
Not as fast as you'd like to be yet? No problem, all speeds are welcome.
