The Tracksmith Amateur Mile

 

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, and this year we’re very excited to be taking our Amateur Mile event to New York City, timed to commemorate the anniversary of Sir Roger Bannister’s barrier-breaking sub-4.

 

The NYC Amateur Mile is tentatively schedule for May 23rd at the Columbia Outdoor Track. Like all of our Twilight races, these are community events where everyone gets treated like an elite, with pacers in all races, an announcer calling all heats and fans and fellow athletes cheering trackside. Races get progressively faster throughout the meet, finishing under the lights.
