We’re thrilled to announce that 120 East State will be participating in the 2025 Revolutionary Mile — the dynamic team challenge through downtown Trenton, hosted by the Trenton Downtown Association (TDA). Mark your calendar: October 16, 2025, starting at 4:30 PM (check-in) with the race kickoff at 5:30 PM.
What Is the Revolutionary Mile?
The Revolutionary Mile is more than just a race — it’s a celebration of Trenton’s historic legacy, brought to life through motion. Participants will journey across 1.55 miles of downtown streets, passing landmarks and historic sites that helped shape American history.
- The route is marked by yellow umbrellas, which serve as guideposts pointing out key heritage sites along the way.
- Teams can choose between two distinct paths:
• Running (Team Challenge) — compete for fastest combined time
• Historic Footsteps (Walking / reflective pace) — follow the same route with storytelling prompts and discovery points highlighting Trenton’s role in the American Revolution - Every participant receives a $10 gift card redeemable at participating downtown Trenton businesses, encouraging people to support local shops and restaurants after the event.
This event is designed to bring together corporate groups, nonprofits, schools, civic teams, and individuals who want to engage with the city of Trenton in a fun, meaningful way.
Why 120 East State Is Participating
At 120 East State, we believe in the power of place, community, and momentum. Participating in the Revolutionary Mile allows us to:
- Celebrate Trenton’s historic narrative while contributing to its vitality
- Walk or run alongside neighbors, colleagues, and friends in an event that symbolizes unity
- Demonstrate our commitment to civic engagement and local pride
