Kingsport, TN
This is a mile race in Kingsport, held at Duck Island. It is part of a local club's adult mile series and counts toward a couple of different club point programs, so the field tends to be regulars who know each other. Times are accepted for state records, which gives it a bit more weight than a casual time trial. No awards are handed out at the finish.

The Mike Lovelace Memorial Mile/Duck Island Spring Mile has been held every year since at least 2025. 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 7:51, and the last recorded finisher came in around 19:24, 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 (50 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 4:54 while the median finisher took 7:51. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
