OPTC016: Blue Jean Mile

Running a mile is hard. Managing your mental health is harder. Doing both in denim? That’s legendary.

Join OPTC and ASICS for a mile race that’s a little bit serious and a whole lot of ridiculous. We’re raising funds for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and shouting from the rooftops for Mental Health Awareness Month. 

The Dress Code

Choose your fighter:

• The "Sensible Human" Option: Standard running clothes. Moisture-wicking, aerodynamic, BORINGGGG.
• The "Outta Pocket" Option: Blue Jeans. Yes, you heard us. We’re talking raw denim, high-waisted flares, or those "comfortable" dad jeans. If you aren't chafing by the 800m mark, are you even raising awareness?

The Vibe

Whether you’re sprinting for a PR or power-walking while overthinking a text you sent in 2014, we want you there.

• When: May 8th! Check-in opens at 6:00pm and we're running at 7:00pm.
• Where: Plunsana - St Pete
• Why: To support NAMI, break the stigma, and prove that denim is a highly underrated (and highly sweaty) performance fabric.

After party until 9 pm. Cold plunges. Saunas. Vibes. BYOT (bring your own towel). 
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to NAMI.
