2nd Edition of the "Miles Of Mooresville"
On July 19th 2009 at 5:45 activities kicked off for the 2nd edition of the Miles of Mooresville. If you are not familiar with the Miles of Mooresville, it is a unique event where for one price; you have the opportunity to run 1, 2, and/or 3 races. For 18 dollars, this appears to be the best bargain if you want to race around Charlotte this year.
The course is a 1 mile loop which is run multiple times if you are running the 2 or 3mile races. And you run right by the finish line which is the mile mark so you can see your mile splits with each lap.
In talking with Dennis Joffe the owner of Queen City Timing before the race, he has been working for 3 years with the local officials to take this race from concept to reality.
The first race which is the mile race kicks off around 7pm. The 2 miles race kicks off about 10 minutes after the last runner finishes the mile race. Similarly, the 3 miles kicks off about 10 minutes after the last runner finishes the 2 miles race.
The starts and finishes near Main St. in Mooresville. There was plenty of food and drinks provided to help with recovery between the races. And if you like live music, there race finishes next to a restaurant which has live out door music on Friday night.
Dennis’ Queen City Timing team was quick with the results as the finish order was posted before the next race kicked off.
The overall finishing times were quick with the mile race being won in 4:58. The two mile was won in 10:26 while the 3 mile race was won 17:00 minutes. The 3 mile race had 84 finishers. The 2 mile race had 102 finishers. The 1 mile race had 129 finishers.
Looking through the results, I noticed that several names ran in all 3 races. This included Bobby Aswell who pushed a baby jogger in all three races: 5:46, 12:34, and 19:42. He needs to receive a well deserved pat on the back. That’s a huge effort.
The next iteration of Miles of Mooresville happens on Aug 21st at 7pm so mark your calendars.
If you are interested in seeing a sampling of the events, I have included some video that I took Friday night below
Sorry about the video quality. Some videos, I can get youtube to show high quality and others videos, I cannot.
