THE MILE MISSION
At Wildwood Running, our mission is to guide, empower, connect, and educate young female
athletes. The Wildwood Mile is a powerful extension of that work. This isn’t just a race. It’s a movement designed to keep girls in sports by creating spaces where they feel safe, supported, and inspired. Where beginners line up beside aspiring champions, and where every girl
feels like she belongs.
WHAT MAKES THIS MEET DIFFERENT?
The Wildwood Mile was born from a need we’ve heard over and over:
"I don’t feel like track is for me.”
"I love running but hate feeling like I’m being judged. “
This event flips that script. With a one-distance, all-heats format, the Wildwood Mile creates accessibility, inclusivity and community.
