About the 9th Annual Maxeys Model Mile

The course runs along the Firefly Trail, starting and finishing there. It is a trail race by character, routed through the kind of corridor that feels removed from traffic even when a highway is nearby. The start area sits near the intersection of a state highway and Laurel Street, which makes it straightforward to find.

Packet pickup and race-day registration both happen at the start area along the Firefly Trail, so there is no separate stop to make beforehand. Awards go out as runners cross the finish rather than in a single ceremony at the end.

Common Questions About the 9th Annual Maxeys Model Mile

Will I finish last at the 9th Annual Maxeys Model Mile?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:47, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:23, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 9th Annual Maxeys Model Mile a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (89 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 9th Annual Maxeys Model Mile?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:53 while the median finisher took 34:47. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
