The mile run has made a resurgence around the country, and

what better place to get that mile in than the closed-off streets in downtown

Wenatchee during the final weekend of the Apple Blossom Festival.

The all-ages inaugural Wenatchee Urban Mile will be held at 6:05 p.m. this

Saturday during a break in the Tour de Bloom criterium cycling races. Runners

will make two loops of the criterium’s downtown course to complete their mile.

There is no cost to enter this all-comers race. However, runners must register

online at https://urbanmile.eventbrite.com through Friday, or at the check-in

tables from 5 to 6 p.m. Saturday at Wenatchee Avenue and Orondo Avenue.
