The 12th Annual Carlisle Downtown Mile will be held on May 18, 2023. In addition to the race on May 18th, we will have a virtual race option that will run from May 13-18, 2023.
The Carlisle Downtown Mile is a fundraiser for the Employment Skills Center that provides adult education and training to community members. All of our programs and classes are offered free of charge. Those programs range from basic literacy skills to course work, tutoring, testing for the high school equivalency diploma, and workforce development opportunities, including nurse aide training, forklift, and computer training.
Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each age group category. Awards will also be given to the top three finishing teams in each Team Challenge Category: Corporate, Education, Non-Profit/Government, Healthcare, and Serve/Protect. In addition, there will be awards for the overall fastest female and male runners provided by Appalachian Running Company. Fun run participants aged 13 and under will receive participant medals. The awards ceremony will occur after the last race has finished and the results are completed.
