Meck Mile returns with runner racing backward
The Meck Mile will return this May after a successful debut last year. It's a race that has a little bit of everything and brings different types of runners together, including Jesus Delatorre, who ran the race backward. Delatorre made the choice to run the race in a unique way moments before it started and finished it in 13 minutes. This year, he's returning with some friends.

So I'm going to be bringing a group of friends that are just going to be running it backward,' Delatorre said. The Meck Mile will be held on Saturday, May 10th. Registration is now open.
