The first ever Dickson Street Mile was so much fun, that we’re bringing it back again in 2025. Starting and finishing on Dickson Street, this one mile race will soon become as iconic as its namesake. Several different race heats will provide a race option for everyone: speedsters, strollers, walkers – even dogs! The race should feel like a parade, with engagement and excitement along the course for both participants and spectators.
