2024 October Midweek Mile & Dash
The Midweek Mile & Dash is a FREE youth event designed for kids ages 14 and under. October's event will be a cross country-style event held at Legacy Park in Decatur. Youth participants will experience a true cross country race start, and will run the shady trails of Legacy Park. Course monitors, lead runners and sweep volunteers will ensure participant safety. Unlike our typical Midweek Mile & Dash events, there will only be one wave of the mile given the size of the start line and capacity on course. Due to construction at the facility, we will not be able to offer a Track & Field Zone.
This event is held with the Grand Prix Cross Country 5K, our FREE members-only event. Parents/guardians and coaches who want to participate can click the button below to register. This event is expected to reach capacity; register soon!
Atlanta Track Club events are held rain or shine. However, the threat of lightning or other severe weather in the vicinity of the event may result in a delay or cancellation. For full details on our event policies, including weather, refunds and cancellations, click here.
