Be Supported the Whole Way by Your Community!

The Auburn Mile is the only event in the region where you run the full July 4th parade route — with spectators cheering you on every step of the way. One mile in downtown Auburn on America's 250th birthday!

Everyone Is Welcome

Competitive runners, first-timers, walkers, and everyone in between — you belong here. Whether you're going for a personal best or just showing up for the experience, this race is for you. And hey — it's only one mile. No excuses needed.

Dress for the Occasion

If the Fourth of July is your moment to go full red, white, and blue — this is your race. Costumes, flags, and festive gear are strongly encouraged.
