Description

The Men’s 3000 metres at the 2025 Millrose Games was one of the most anticipated races of the indoor season. As part of the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold series, the event brought together elite middle- and long-distance runners in peak early-season form.

The main focus before the race was the expected showdown between Grant Fisher and Cole Hocker. Fisher entered as one of the world’s strongest long-distance runners, coming off major international success and known for his strength over longer distances. Hocker, the reigning Olympic 1500 metres champion, brought speed, tactical awareness, and strong closing ability, making him a serious threat in a fast indoor race.

The pace was expected to be aggressive from the gun, with speculation that the long-standing indoor world record could be challenged if the race unfolded cleanly. Several international contenders were also present, ensuring a deep field capable of pushing the tempo throughout.
