BROOKINGS – Runners of all abilities are encouraged to enter the Prairie Striders’ annual Predictor Mile on Wednesday, Aug. 2.
The event is at 7 p.m. at the Brookings High School track at Medary Avenue and Fifth Street South. Based on similar runs conducted in the 1970s and ’80s, the Predictor Mile was restarted in 2004. This free running event is open to every age and fitness level.
Fast, slow or in between, the prize goes to the person who best predicts his or her time for a one-mile run on the track. No watches are allowed.
Kids of all ages are invited to participate in 400-meter and/or 800-meter predictor runs. There is no preregistration and free watermelon will be served after the race.
