Annapolis Striders John Wall Memorial One Mile Track Run

Come out to Annapolis High School ( new location this year! ) and see how fast you can cover the classic 5,280-foot distance! The 45th annual John Wall Memorial One Mile Track Run , the fourth event in our 2026 Annapolis Striders Championship Series , takes place on Saturday, June 27th, 2026 , starting with a youth heat at 8:00 AM and continuing with mixed heats based on estimated finish time, with the fastest folks running in the final heat. Runners of all ages & abilities are welcome to participate! The Wall Mile is named in honor of John Edward Wall , an accomplished track athlete, Navy veteran, and Striders member whose grandson Dave was a longtime race director of this event. John Wall passed away in 1987 at age 74, and this event was renamed for him in 1988. (Location note: We had intended to hold this year's race at Severna Park High School again, but we learned in early April that the SPHS track is being resurfaced after the school year ends, thus requiring us to relocate to Annapolis High School.)
