Timing: Timing is brought to you by Last Mile Racing Co.

Parking: Due to the fact that the race is a point-to-point event, we ask that participants plan ahead, if you are not going to want to walk the one mile back to start of the race, we suggest parking at the finish in the Mt. Nebo or Globe Hollow parking lot. On the other hand those who wish to park closer to the start of the race have the option of parking on Glen St.  Glen St. is a very small road which bears to the right just before crossing the bridge on Spring St. near Case Mountain.  There may be some parking available on side streets throughout the course but do not park illegally as you will be towed at your own expense.

Restrooms: Restrooms will be available at Globe Hollow.

Proceeds: Proceeds of the Spring Street Mile will benefit United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Hartford.

Personal Property:  Manchester Running Company is not responsible for lost or stolen items, please do not leave items at the start of the race, we will not guarantee they will be there at the end and will not hold on to items for participants.  Any items found will be brought to the awards ceremony to be claimed.

Volunteers: Interested in volunteering at the Spring Street Mile!?  Shoot us an email at manchesterrunningcompany@gmail.com  Volunteers will earn a free Manchester Running Company dri-fit shirt along with other delightful treats
