Monroe Avenue Mile & River Challenge 5k

June 12 & 20, 1999


The Monroe Avenue Mile

A local running institution
George Tillson brings it home

It's a pity we didn't get more photos from this race, because it's one of the success stories of the season. On a weekend with six other races, the organizers expected a thin turnout. They were pleasantly surprised with 105 entrants, great neighborhood support and volunteers who made what could have been a logistical nightmare into a professional event. Even the police were impressed. The post-race party also made this an event to mark on your calendar next year.

Cheeze it! It's the cops!
