Race format, rules, timing, and race-day expectations. No surprises. No excuses. Just the work.
Five distances offered across MileBuilt events. Core distances run at every event. The 50K is a select-event offering — confirm availability on RunSignup before registering.
MileBuilt events are cupless. There are no disposable cups at aid stations. You are responsible for carrying your own fluids — via handheld bottle, vest, or waist pack.
It keeps operations simple, reduces waste, and puts the responsibility for preparation where it belongs — with you.
Plan for the distance. Carry what you need.
Rules that apply to all MileBuilt events. Review before race day.

Bibs are available for pickup on race day. Honor system — no ID required. A friend may pick up your bib on your behalf.
No bib transfers. Your bib is registered to you. Another runner may not race under your bib number.
MileBuilt operates on a 9-hour race day cutoff. Put in the work and you will finish. This applies to the full race day, not per distance. Runners still on course after the cutoff window will be directed off course.
Headphones — the use of personal music devices is strongly discouraged at MileBuilt events. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Pets & Strollers — strongly discouraged on course. MileBuilt operates on public trails where other users may be present. If you choose to bring either, you are fully responsible for the safety of yourself and others.
MileBuilt events are directed by an RRCA-certified Race Director. The Road Runners Club of America sets national standards for race management, runner safety, and course operations. Certification means trained protocols govern how MileBuilt plans, manages, and runs each event — so you know what to expect before you show up.
The Streak is built on your personal pledge. Here is how it operates on race day and beyond.
When you register for a Streak, your commitment begins on the first day of the challenge. There is no other start option — the Streak runs from day one through the final day of your challenge. Standalone and Resolve runners select their own individual days.
Every Streak runner signs a personal pledge at registration. It is not a waiver. It is a commitment to the work, the distance, and to yourself. The Streak pricing is built into that commitment.
"I pledge to return, repeat, and endure. I will respect the distance by showing up again — when it is hard, when I am tired, when I would rather not. I understand that Streak pricing is built into the commitment. It is not a coupon, a sale, or a shortcut. Tomorrow, I earn it by showing up again."
The personal pledge is not about accountability to MileBuilt. It is about accountability to yourself — to the growth, the discipline, and the version of you that shows up again tomorrow.
No day-of policing. No checkpoint verification. The commitment lives between you and the pledge you signed.
Change requests must be submitted more than 10 days before your first race day and are subject to Race Director approval. Requests submitted within 10 days are outside the change window. Eligible downgrades may receive MileBuilt credit — not a cash refund. Upgrades allowed if space permits.
After that window closes —
NO CHANGES. NO REFUNDS. NO RACE-DAY REPRICING.
Broken Streak: no tier patch. You may complete remaining paid days and receive daily finisher recognition.
Can't make your event? Defer to a future MileBuilt event instead of forfeiting your registration.
Same distance — straight transfer
Shorter distance — difference forfeited, no credit
Longer distance — you pay the difference
One deferral per registration. Valid 12 months from your original event date. Must be requested more than 10 days before your first race day.
*All requests outside the change and deferral standards are at the Race Director's discretion.
Here is what to expect on race day.
Start times are early by design — Central Florida heat is a real factor. If you miss the start window, you may not be permitted to begin. Check RunSignup for your exact start time.
Pay attention to course signage. Know the number of course segments or turnaround points for the distance you signed up for. MileBuilt courses are clearly marked — knowing your route is your responsibility.
Cupless format means you carry your own fluids — via handheld bottle, vest, or waist pack. Aid stations provide water, an electrolyte drink, and basic snacks. For longer distances and multi-day participation, plan your own nutrition — gels, chews, and electrolyte supplements. Do not rely on the aid station as your complete plan.
Aid stations are at the start/finish line only. If your vehicle is parked along the course, you may access it as needed for personal supplies. Plan accordingly for your distance.
Whether you are running a 5K or a 50K, the distance deserves respect. Train for what you sign up for. Do not overcommit and underperform.
MileBuilt is grassroots. Whether you finish first or last, you cross the same finish line. Encourage everyone. Respect every effort.
Cross the finish line. Strike the GONG. Clock out. That's it. The GONG marks the moment. The Clock Out records it.
No finisher shirts. No race bags. No merchandise tables at the finish line. Complete the work, collect your Daily Finisher Medallion, and recover. If you are running a Streak, the next day is already waiting.
MileBuilt is not chip timed. Official finish times are recorded at the MileBuilt Time Clock and verified by the Race Director before results are posted.
Every runner must complete the Clock Out process to receive an official finish record. GPS watches, phone apps, and personal devices are unofficial.
If a finish record is incomplete or cannot be verified, the result may be marked Unverified.
The 9-hour race-day cutoff applies to the full race day — not separately to each distance. Cutoffs are enforced for runner safety and permit compliance. Start times are early by design. Central Florida heat is not a factor to ignore. The clock does not wait.
The GONG marks the moment. It is not a ceremony. It is the signal that you crossed the line and completed the work.
Strike it. Clock out. Collect what you earned. For Streak runners, the finish line completes one day of work. The next one is already waiting.
MileBuilt events are official public races with a named Race Director, posted distances, designated race direction, common starts, official finish times, and published results. These standards apply to every MileBuilt event.
USATF certification is not required for most outside club eligibility. MileBuilt is currently operating under its own race standards, with USATF course certification under consideration for future marathon distances.
Always verify eligibility directly with your club or organization for your specific situation.
