Mile Hi Mile 2011 year 4

The Mile Hi Mile completed year four in 2011 with a new record of more than 1,700 runners.
I have run in three one mile races in Colorado and the Mile Hi has the greatest number of runners but came with the most problems too.


On the plus side one can count on massive parking options. Along with all of the parking, comes plenty of warm up area in the parking lot.  There are some races where warming up can be problematic, but MHM is grade A for parking and warm up

There were some issues with race however. There were plenty of port-o-potties but one of them ( in the West area lot) was the most disgusting pre race potty I have ever seen. That is not something a race director can control but was a definite negative.



Next, is the always tricky line between respecting runners who planned ahead and arrived on time, and those who arrive late.  The races started about 20 minutes late, but given the weather was good, most runners did not seem to mind.

The course inside the stadium is tight but that did not seem to affect race winner Adam Rich who ran 4:28!
