DOE Mile Race & Health & Fitness Day
13 DOE Labs across the country are expected to take to the starting line on May 7th for a friendly competition of a one-mile walk/run race. All runners and walkers interested in competing should be at the starting line at A1 on the Main Ring at 11:30 am.
Compete for top male runners, female runners, male walkers, female walkers, and highest participation. Results will be merged with other lab results to determine overall standings. We encourage everyone to be there at 11:30 am so we can include you in Fermilab’s participation count. If you cannot make it at 11:30 am, please join us for Health & Fitness Day after the start of the race. We will be out there until 1:30 pm with t-shirts, snacks, and water for the first 300 participants.
