This is the first and only race of its kind; no other foot race has been based on nautical miles before.
The desire is to see this event become a world-class, national-scale event on a par with races like the
Marine Corps Marathon, Air Force Marathon and Army 10 Miler.
The Navy Ten Nautical Miler is an event officially sanctioned by USA Track & Field, the national governing body for track & field, long distance running, and race walking in the United States.
The event is being coordinated in association with the Memphis Runners Track Club.
