About the Quad Cities Criterium Running Wild Mile
The course runs the criterium loop through the Village of East Davenport, starting at a street corner and finishing outside the Fire Museum. The route is tight and technical, the same circuit the pro cyclists race on, and the criterium crowds are still out when the runners go. It is a short, fast effort with real atmosphere around it.
Packet pickup runs race-day morning through the early afternoon, at the Running Wild tents near the basketball courts by Lindsay Park, just east of the Village Theatre. The start area is nearby, so you can pick up and walk over without much trouble.

The Quad Cities Criterium Running Wild 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.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
