    Join the Maple City Mile Run Group, DougTheFoodie, and the crew at WindsorEats for a grueling* one-mile journey around the city sidewalks of Windsor.

    *It’s not actually grueling. It’s 1,600 meters of pure Cinco de Mayo joy.

    The Swag Situation: Look, we’re going to be honest with you. There are no medals at the finish line. There are no ribbons. If you want a piece of shiny plastic to hang on your wall, this isn't the race for you.

    Instead, every participant will be "Crowned" with an exclusive, commemorative Margarita Mile Demi-Buff. It’s breathable, it’s branded, and it’s the only acceptable headwear for a person currently hunting for a taco.

    The Post-Race Ritual: Once you’ve conquered the sidewalk, we’re heading straight to the source. WindsorEats will have the cold Margaritas flowing and the Tacos steaming (available for purchase).

    Date: May 3rd (Cinco de Mayo!) Location: WindsorEats, Windsor, ON.

    NOTE; THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT. NONE TRANSFERABLE AND NONE REFUNDABLE.
