The third annual GTC Memorial Day Mile, renamed this year as GTC Memorial Day - Honor Tower Mile will be held this coming Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, 2026. The event pays tribute to our fallen service members, and to our first responders. As a competitive 1-mile race, it is in good alignment with a national movement afoot - to Bring Back the Mile - America's distance (1-2). Not as fast as you'd like to be yet? No problem, all speeds are welcome.     John HartRace DirectorEmail: MDMdirector@greenvilletrackclub.com    References 1. Bring Back the Mile: America's Distance.
