Golden Mile
The Traverse City Track Club and the National Cherry Festival is pleased to announce the revival of The Golden Mile to the 2010 National Cherry Festival Meijer Festival of Races!
The elite field of racers will consist of high level collegiate and professional runners selected by race directors Bryan Burns and Eric Houghton. To apply, the minimum performance standards of 4:10 for the Men’s mile and 4:55 in the women’s mile (or equivalent 800/1500m time) will be required. In order to maintain a competitive race field, each race will be capped at a maximum of 12 athletes.
The Traverse City Track Club (www.tctrackclub.com) will be awarding over $5,200 in total prize money. The race will also feature "Time Bonuses," for the men's and women's leader at the halfway point and finish times below 4:00 in the men’s and 4:30 in the women’s race. Athletes interested in competing should send an email to Bryan Burns or Eric Houghton with their racing credentials, including performances from the past 12 months.
