The Harlem 1 Miler is the signature event of the Harlem Gets Fit collaboration between Harlem United and Harlem Run

In 2015, Harlem Run and Harlem United organized the debut Harlem 1 Miler which was Harlem’s first and only one mile race. Each year since, participation has swelled and the race has become known as one of the city’s most fun competitive races.

Participants are invited to walk, jog, shuffle, skip, or race their way to the finish line and all fitness levels are welcome. In 2017, one participant set a Guinness World Record on our course while another used assistance from a walker to walk the course. We celebrate them — and everyone in between!
