FINISH LINE FESTIVAL
While the heats are taking off throughout the afternoon, join us for a day of celebrating the Meck Mile presented by Albemarle. Cheer stations will be set up during the races. Music, DJs, games and food and drink vendors will be keeping the vibes high. Sponsor tents will be showcasing all the things we love about walking, jogging and running. Take part in all of these activities while also taking in the competition!
AMERICAN LEGION MEMORIAL STADIUM
American Legion Memorial Stadium, located in the heart of the Elizabeth neighborhood, provides the perfect location to host the Meck Mile presented by Albemarle. The stadium, which first opened in 1936, is named in honor of Mecklenburg County veterans who served in World War I.
The Meck Mile presented by Albemarle was created to remember the past while keeping an eye on the future, and we look forward to bringing you this event in a historic venue that will allow us to do just that.
