mile race

A mile race is a competitive running event where athletes cover a distance of approximately 1,609 meters (about 1 mile) on a track. It tests speed, endurance, and strategy, often lasting around 4 to 6 minutes for elite runners. Runners start at designated lines, aim to maintain a steady pace, and strategically accelerate or conserve energy. The race involves pacing, stamina, and mental focus, with the winner crossing the finish line first. It is a classic middle-distance event used to measure both speed and endurance in track and field athletics.
