The Navy Mile saw wonderful participation in the virtual Navy Mile in 2020! We are going to continue to this virtual race to allow runners in any location to participate.

Run or walk anytime between October 1 – 13 at the location of your choice!  Choose the classic mile, or, new this year, complete a 5K if you prefer a longer distance.  Or if you’re up to an even greater challenge, chose the CPO “Chuck Heavy” Keating challenge – a series of 1-mile runs, push-ups, and squats (more information below).  After completing your race, record your results through the registration site (instructions below). 

The top 5 finishers in each age group will be entered into a raffle for Potomac River Running gift certificates.

Sign up for the The "Salty Pet" Photo contest within the registration process for $10. Information on submitting photos will be sent out to those who enter closer to the date of the event.

The "Chuck Heavy Challenge" is dedicated to all our Nation's fallen Service Men and Women. This event was established in honor of US Navy Chief Petty Officer Charles Keating IV, a talented high school and collegiate miler, who was killed battling ISIS fighters in Iraq on May 3, 2016. The challenge has been embraced as the Navy's Special Forces "Workout of the Day".  Half of the entry proceeds for the Chuck Heavy Challenge will be donated to the C4 Foundation which provides support and resources for active duty Navy SEALS and their families.  The challenge consists of the following:  1-mile run, 100 push-ups, 1-mile run, 100 air squats, 1-mile run. 

Participants who complete all 5 steps of the "Chuck Heavy Challenge" consecutively and record their total time.
