For the second year in a row, the Miracle Mile will take place in downtown Houlton as part of Houlton's Midnight Madness Celebration!

The race is set up to raise funds and awareness to aid in the research for curing Neuroblastoma and Diamond Blackfan Anemia. The families of the late Makenna Ward and Maggie Rudnicki, who is currently dealing with Diamond Blackfan Anemia, are teaming up to once again host the Miracle Mile: Makenna and Maggie's Race for Research. And you're invited to lace up your sneakers and hit the pavement on Thursday, July 3rd in downtown Houlton!
