Wildcat Extra Mile Race
About this race
The Wildcat Extra Mile is a one-mile race for competitive runners, casual walkers, and everyone in between! There will be two race heats so participants can run or walk at their own pace. The Wildcat Extra Mile is a fast, flat USATF-certified one-mile race that starts and finishes in front of Harding Academy. We encourage students, parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors to come out and go the extra mile with us Saturday morning, May 2, 2026. 100% of the race proceeds will be used to benefit the teachers and students. In the past, these funds have been used to purchase playground equipment, bleachers, and classroom iPads. Race proceeds have also benefited various sports programs, Robotics, Theater, Chorus, and Band. Thank you for supporting Harding Academy!

USATF Certification Number: AR 19008WJT (Effective April 29, 2019-December 31, 2029)
