ROAD MILE BONUS STRUCTURE (GRAND BLUE MILE / USATF 1 MILE ONLY)

American Record Bonus
  • Men – $5,000
  • Women – $5,000
World Record Bonus**
  • Men – $7,500
  • Women – $7,500 

In addition to the prize structure, a $7,500 bonus is available for the winning performance in each race that can be ratified as a new World Record for the 1 Mile Road event. Currently, the World Records stand at 3:51.3 for men and 4:20.98 for women.

A $5,000 bonus is available for the winning performance in each race that can be ratified as a new American Record for the 1 Mile Road event. Currently, the American Records are 3:51.9 for men and 4:28.0 for women.

As a reminder, the inaugural World Records in this discipline were established at our event in 2023. The course is record-eligible, flat, and favorable for fast performances.

** World Record bonus is inclusive of the American Record bonus, rather than additive. Record bonuses are only available to the winner. For clarity, a winner in an American Record performance would earn a total of $15,000, and a winner in a World Record performance would earn a total of $17,500.
