The third Parys Crater Street Mile is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 12. The Parys Rotary Club presents this popular community road running event in conjunction with Parys Info and Tourism.
In addition to this event being a community driven project with a large number of participants entering to run for fun, it is also a very popular event amongst the best and elite talent in the South African athletics arena. The Parys Crater Street Mile is an ASA-sanctioned event presented under the auspices of Parys Multisport according to the rules and regulations of World Athletics, Athletics South Africa, and Athletics Free State.
In 2023 the Parys Crater Street Mile was the first event of its kind in the Free State province to be certified as a street mile (1609 meters). It was decided to change the route of the Parys Crater Street Mile in 2024 and certify it again to comply with international standards, rules and regulations. Athletes who participate in the Parys Crater Street Mile from 2024 will be able to break and set new Provincial, National and World Records in the Street Mile event. This event may further be used to qualify athletes for
provincial and national team selection.
The multifaceted approach of the Parys Crater Street Mile makes it a truly unique and prestigious event that involves and benefits the whole community while offering everyone the perfect opportunity to get involved, participate, and be part of an event that is proving to become an international attraction.
