About the Thanksgiving Downhill Mile
This is a point-to-point downhill mile through neighborhood streets in Laramie, starting on Northview Street and finishing near an elementary school on Knadler Street. The course drops steadily the whole way, which makes it genuinely fast, and the route is short enough that you can push hard from the gun. Categories run from young kids through older adults.
Check-in and race-morning registration both happen inside the elementary school cafeteria before the start. The race benefits local youth running programs, including middle school and high school cross country teams and a youth running club.

The Thanksgiving Downhill Mile has been held every year since at least 2023. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
