El G. King of the mile.

college runs all sorts of thing..but the majority of the time its just the 1500m..1600m and 3200 is more of a high school thing, college and higher usually do 1500, 5k and 10k..but they do sometimes do 1600, mile, or 3k..it varies but every track I've seen has mile marks also, doesn't mean there used though..we had them on my high school track, but still did the 1600..like I said it just varies

@addictedtobowhuntin Well don't they have 1600meter runs and mile runs??? because I was on a college track this past summer and they had a starting line for both. Not trying to make you mad or anything just trying to clarify things.

You ran with Sebastian Coe?!?!?!?!?!

seb was the greatest. It was an honour to be on the same start sheet.

1500m isn't a metric metric, A metric mile would actually be 1610m. The mile is actually short although little people no this, it really dosn't matter though 10ms is nothing. Not trying to show up up or put you down or anything just being informative. The mile is a great race, but I've always preferred the 2mile

dayum man...awesome quote....i am a miler so yeah:)

yeah nice quote...but they can screw with doping in half mile races as well...



"That quarter mile oval may be one of the few places in the world where the bastards can't screw you over. That's because there's no place to hide out there. No way to fake it or charm your way through, and no deals to be made. You know all that stuff. You've talked about it. It's why you became a miler. The question is whether you are prepared to live by it or whether it was just a bunch of words." - Once a Runner

the mile is definitely magic.
its such a complete race, 4 laps of the track. 1500m may be the metric mile,but its awkwardness of 3 3/4 laps doesnt give it the character of the mile
