Bruce Barnes Mile

NEW! We will have chip timing this year and all runners will start together. The registration fee is $12 per person until race day when it will be $17/person.

Featuring the fastest & most scenic mile course in Virginia! This unique one mile road race is all downhill, with its steepest descent over the last quarter mile.
