Whether you want to test your speed in a timed event or join the spirit of the Boca Raton Holiday parade with fellow runners and walkers, the 14th annualBoca Raton PAL Holiday Mile could be for you. You’ll run along the parade’s route, with potentially thousands to cheer you on.
The annual event, which takes place just before the parade, starts at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 3, on South Federal Highway and Southeast Eighth Street (two blocks north of Camino Real Boulevard).
The one-mile run takes participants north on Federal Highway to west of Mizner Park. There’s a 15-minute time limit, which should help to accommodate brisk walkers.
The race includes AccuChip timing, awards for top three winners in age groups and overall, plus post-run pizza, drinks and T-shirts.
Sign up early for this one. The cost to sign up is $15 until Nov. 30 and $20 on Dec. 1 and 2. There will be no sign-up at the event. Money from the race will benefit the Boca Raton Police Athletic League and the Runner’s Edge Foundation.
