ENTER THE DON BOWDEN MILE TODAY!

 

The Don Bowden Mile on Sunday, June 3 at the University of the Pacific in Stockton honors the first American to break four minutes for the magical distance. The race is the PAUSATF Road Mile Championship in all age divisions.

Bowden, a student at UC-Berkeley, ran 3:58.7 at the University of the Pacific track on June 1, 1957, 50 years ago next month. Don will be at his namesake race to help present awards, sign autographs and cheer on runners and race walkers in all the heats.

The race, formerly held in downtown Davis, features a new two-lap, paved course on the beautiful UOP campus that is flat and super fast. There are 16 separate races by age and gender starting at 8 a.m.

For PA runners and teams, there is $2,500 in prize money. In addition, there is Nike merchandise for the top three finishers in each 5-year age division to 75-and-over.

For all entrants, there are post-race refreshments and front-row seats to wave after wave of exciting races!

Early entry fee is only $17 through May 24 and includes a Nike shoe bag. To register, visit http://www.ffsac.com/template.asp?id=137. Enter online with no service charges!
