There’s no race quite like the mile: whole lifetimes pass by in those 4, 6 or 10 minutes it takes to lap a track four times. We don’t believe that there’s a truer test of speed, endurance and mental fortitude than this iconic distance. In 2023, we took our challenge global, hosting races in London, Boston, and NYC and offered free group training opportunities across all three cities in the run-up to the big meet.
Like our Twilight races, these are community events where everyone gets treated like an elite, with pacers for all levels, an announcer calling every heat and fans and fellow athletes cheering trackside. The mile is one of track and field’s iconic events – we look forward to seeing you out there.

Why the Mile
After our inaugural Amateur Mile in 2022, we spoke to a range of athletes to get their take on this iconic distance.
