2022 MARCH MIDWEEK MILE & DASH - PIEDMONT PARK

logo of midweek mile & dash

TODAY'S MIDWEEK MILE & DASH IS ON! We have closely monitored the weather and the forecast has improved significantly. We will move the event up on the hill above the Meadow, along Charles Allen Drive and 10th Street and inside Piedmont Park. We hope to see you there!

The Midweek Mile & Dash is a FREE youth event designed for kids ages 14 and under. This event will take place in Piedmont Park's iconic Meadow. Milers (ages 6-14) will start and finish in the Meadow, and run the beloved paths around the area. Dashers will run their 50 meters in the grassy Meadow. *NEW* this spring, the dash is now available for all children, ages 14 and under. Dash participants will run with children in their age group for safety. If your Miler is planning on running the dash as well, they should select a mile timeslot in registration, and can "add on" the dash in the registration platform.

All participants can have fun in the Track & Field Zone with Atlanta Track Club's elite athletes while parents learn more about our youth events and youth programming in the information tent. This is the first of three spring midweek mile & dash events (March 16, April 13, May 11). Challenge yourself throughout the spring to improve your performances with each event!

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.
