Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Burris Hoot Scoot 2026 has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 1 Miles field finished slower than 14:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 23:37, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (75 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 1 Miles winner ran 6:39 while the median finisher took 14:54. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
