08.30.08: Miracle Mile 1-Mile Run & Relays

One of the more unusual races I've attended, this one was held on the track at Bristol Motor Speedway. More of a sprint meet than a distance run, it consisted of five races.

1-3: Youth (<14), Open, & Masters (40+) 1-mile race, two laps around the track.
4: A 4-mile 4-person relay race, 2 laps each person (except for Todd Skelton, who ran on two teams so he ran 4 laps).
5: A 1-mile walk around the track.

It was a good day despite the small numbers and was actually pretty nice getting to watch the runners most of the way around the track, as opposed to the usual - watching their backsides disappear in the distance and not seeing them again until the last little bit. There was also no awards ceremony per se; instead one of the finish line crew handed each runner a blue card with the finishing position printed on it.
