Candler Park Park Mile medal

Run it, send your Strava link, unlock the medal — free.

Candler Park is a classic east-side neighborhood park with a small golf course, a pool and big shade trees. The Park Mile route is a 1.3-mile loop around the park's perimeter — short, hilly and friendly.

The route

  • Distance: 1.3 miles around the park.
  • Terrain: sidewalks and paths with a few honest hills.
  • Combine it: Freedom Park Trail is right next door for a longer run and a second medal.

Tips

  • Stay off the golf course while you run — keep to the paths and sidewalks.
  • Great option for a quick lunch-break medal.
  • Neighborhood festivals can close parts of the park on some weekends.

How to unlock the Candler Park medal

  1. Run the route above — any pace counts, walk breaks included.
  2. Copy your Strava activity link (or a link to a screenshot of your watch or phone).
  3. Submit it on the Park Mile Passport page. Once approved, the Candler Park medal unlocks in your passport. It's free.
