Flagstaff Downtown Mile

FESTIVE, FUN, & FAST! The Downtown Mile, presented by Run Flagstaff and the Greater Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce, offers residents and visitors a unique opportunity to kick off the 4th of July festivities.

This single-mile race, held on the iconic 4th of July Parade route just before the floats arrive, features six categories catering to all skill levels. From Elite runners vying for a cash prize to Masters and Citizen racers of all ages, to an epic .5-mile kids' run, there's a chance for everyone to make history in historic Downtown Flagstaff!

The two-loop design winds its way through the heart of the city, culminating in a thrilling finish line among thousands of cheering fans! Races begin at 6:30 am. Awards for overall and age group winners, as well as best costume, will be handed out after the last race concludes.
