Description

The Mid-Autumn Mile is a 1-mile run/walk on the streets of Chinatown to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most popular holidays in many Asian cultures. Friends, family, and neighbors will unite as one community to run/walk 1 mile beneath the beautiful glow of Chinatown’s lanterns. It'll be a spectacular way to complete the last mile of our Run for 21 Challenge! Meet us at the Columbus Park Tai Chi Wheels by the basketball courts at the southern end of the park. The run/walk will start with a cultural lesson on the Mid-Autumn Festival led by our resident Chinatown historians and RFC members, the Mott Street Girls. We’ll finish our evening at Mott & Pell Street with a magical lion dance performance by the Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. It is our desire to share this traditional holiday with our community, so we have purposefully decided to remove any economic hurdle in order to participate. Bring your friends, family, and neighbors! Come share in the power of running. PLEASE NOTE: NO BAG DROP. NO BATHROOM. COME READY TO RUN/WALK! See you there! Team RFC Registering for this event:Hello!
