How fast can you run a Merry Mile?

Get into the holiday season with USA Track & Field Alaska's second annual Merry Mile Association Championship, set for noon, Saturday, Dec. 19, at the Dome in Anchorage! 
Join your Alaska Association today to qualify for a $150 prize if you win as the top male or female finisher. All participants are welcome, but you must be a USATF member to qualify for the cash prize. Also, your USATF membership helps us support road, track, trail, and other events throughout the state. Without your financial support, we cannot offer events or prizes. Please consider joining – your membership will be valid through the end of 2027. Registration is open now, and all ages are welcome. Red hats optional! We will split heats into respective speeds, regardless of gender, so please provide a seed time at time of registration.
Finally, online registration is $5, which goes to our association to help cover costs of meet operations. The Dome also will require a $10 admission fee (even if you are already a member) to issue a participation bracelet. 
And a heads up for those participating in our upcoming IceBreaker meet series in 2027: We are changing policy so online payment ($10 per meet for middle school and up, $5 for grade-schoolers) will be required for participation, but there will be NO payment required at the door. This will ease the chaos during our meet days and allow us to purchase the entire track rather than just four lanes. We’re moving up in the world!
