About Bring Back the Mile
The Mile holds a special place in Track & Field and
beyond because no running distance, or field event for that matter, has
the history, the appeal, the ÛÏmagicÛ of the Mile. The first sub-4 minute
Mile by Great BritainÛªs Roger Bannister in 1954 is regarded as the greatest individual athletic achievement of the 20th century (see Forbes November 18, 2005 article HERE),
and no other event has produced an equivalent of the sub-4 minute Mile
standard in the sport, in the media and in the publicÛªs mind.
Over the past decade-plus, unfortunately, the Mile has lost
some of its stature, and thus, the Bring Back the Mile mission is: To
return the Mile to prominence on the American sports and cultural
landscape by elevating and celebrating the Mile to create a national
movement.
