Join runners for a progressive workout on August 14th at 6pm at Benson High School's newly resurfaced 535-meter track, where you'll pick your starting pace (9, 8, or 7 minute miles) and increase speed by 20 seconds every mile until you can't keep up anymore. This global fitness phenomenon, which started in Milwaukee in 2013 and came to Portland in 2019, takes advantage of Benson's unique four-lane facility where three laps equals approximately one mile. All proceeds support Benson Cross Country's fundraising efforts to help athletes travel to end-of-season competitions.
