WHAT IS THE LAST MILE:

The Last Mile is a 501(c)3 and family-led local 5k that organizes a sunset run/walk every November atSeville Quarter in Downtown Pensacola.

"We exist to encourage others to live their lives as though they are running their last mile, in honor and memory of Brien Pursell.

Our mission is to help develop, improve and save lives through supporting local organizations that focus on safer streets and youth programs."
