The 17th HOKA ONE ONE State Street Mile will be held in beautiful downtown Santa Barbara, California on Sunday, June 5, 2016. The State Street Mile was selected by Competitor Magazine as one of 7 Must-Do Mile Road Races!
This unique event features a fast, gradual downhill, point-to-point course with something for everyone and every dog who runs, walks or jogs. Events include the Family Fun Mile, a Dog Mile, Nobbe Amputee Mile (new this year), nine (9) age group categories and an Open and Masters elite Miles for the serious, competitive runner.
Awards will be given in every category. On race day, registration and bib number pick up begins at 7:00am at Pedregosa and State Streets in Santa Barbara, and the first heat starts at 8:00am. The race finishes at State and De La Guerra Streets.
All proceeds go directly to the District Attorney’s Victim-Witness Assistance Program’s Crime Victim Emergency Fund.
The guaranteed prize purse totals $6700 (Open = $1000, $750, $500 and $250 and Masters age-graded = $175, $100, $75) plus $1000 Open course record bonus (3:49 men and 4:33 women) and the inaugural Nobbe Amputee Mile will award $1000 (above and below the knee divisions with cash prizes to the top 3 finishers in each category).

June 6, 2010
By The Edhat Dog
It's not easy being the Edhat Dog.
There's the fame that comes with being on all those splash pages, the pressure of picking the winners of important Edhat contests like March Edness. And of course, the constant training I have to do to be in shape for the annual State Street Dog Mile.
It's possible that this year I over trained for the State Street Mile. And certainly, though my carbo-loading the night before was perfect, my head wasn't in the right place before the race. Instead of staying calm and collected, I barked and pranced. I was anxious to avenge my leash-losing performance from 2009. Even though I came in first last year, my handler was left far behind.
Return the Mile to prominence on the American & worldwide sports and cultural landscape by elevating and celebrating the Mile to create a movement.
ELEVATE
Bring Back the Mile as the premier event in the sport, and increase interest in and media coverage of the Mile for both those who love the distance as well as the general public.
CELEBRATE
Bring Back the Mile to celebrate the storied distance and to recognize the people who made and make the Mile great and to promote Mile events and the next generation of U.S. Milers.
NATIONAL MOVEMENT
Bring Back the Mile to create a national movement for the Mile as America’s Distance, to inspire Americans to run the Mile as part of their fitness program and to replace the 1600 meters at High School State Track & Field Meets across the country.
