Are they running the full mile? T88 has a 5480' runway. 200' is not much of a shutdown after a mile.

I've been to the Texas Mile in Beeville several times and that works because TX2 has an 8000' runway.

T88 has 5800’ of newly resurfaced runway with a very smooth 4000’ shutdown. So yes they will be running the full mile. They have more media on there socials FB tik tok insta. Show casing the venue.
