Event Description

Welcome to the registration page for La Milla de Mayo!

La Milla de Mayo is the perfect one-mile run/walk for those new to running or who want to improve their time, all in the quaint surroundings of Gaithersburg’s historic commercial center. A free Festival, open to the entire community, takes place during and after the run in the newly renovated Olde Towne Plaza at the corner of Summit & Diamond Avenues.

The Festival features live music by salsa band Sol y Rumba performing music from Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador, and dancing demonstrations by Gloria de la Danza.

A Mariachi band will welcome racers to the finish line.
