The Crenshaw Mile

The mile is more than 5,280 feet and The Crenshaw Mile is more than a race - it’s a celebration of community, well-being, and culture.

Open for all runners, joggers, and walkers 6 years old or older.

In the RJT curriculum, you will find activities ranging from warming up and walking to advanced hurdle and jumping activities. While all these activities meet SHAPE America standards, the most important part of USATF & Hershey's RunJumpThrow is that kids have fun moving their bodies.
