COURSE

The Mile will be USATF certified. 

The Astoria Mile can be built for speed. Two downhill straightaways of .33 miles with an uphill in between. 

Runners will launch down an aggressive downhill from 38th Street/Steinway Street to 31st Street, tackle a challenging 0.33-mile climb back to the start, then finish with one final downhill charge to the finish at 31st Street. 

Featuring three straightaways of approximately 535 meters (.33 miles), the course rewards smart pacing, surviving the climb, and letting gravity carry you home.
