Revolutionary Mile

The Revolutionary Mile is a 1.55-mile run through Downtown Trenton, beginning at South Warren and West Front Streets. Also known as the Revolutionary Mile Team Challenge, it is designed as a fast evening race, not a long-distance event. Companies, schools, community groups, and individual runners may enter, with teams formed by captains. A Historic Footsteps Walkers option is available for those who wish to follow the same route at a slower pace, including storytelling prompts. The course features cobblestone streets and downtown landmarks, with yellow umbrellas indicating the historic route. Runners can select George or Martha’s team, and Historic Footsteps participants can choose William Trent or Sarah’s team, adding a playful Revolutionary-era theme. The race aligns with the Nation’s 250th celebration, integrating history into the event’s structure. Each participant receives a downtown gift card, linking the event to Trenton’s local businesses.
