Description

The Men’s Mile at the 2025 Millrose Games was once again positioned as the headline event of the meet and one of the most prestigious indoor races of the year. Traditionally known as the “Wanamaker Mile,” the race consistently attracts the world’s best middle-distance athletes and often produces historically significant performances.

Heading into the race, attention centered on Yared Nuguse, who entered in outstanding form and was widely viewed as the man most capable of challenging the indoor world record. With Jakob Ingebrigtsen not on the start list, Nuguse was expected to take control of the race tempo. A deep international field, including experienced championship racers and fast-closing specialists, ensured the pace would be honest from the gun.

The Armory’s fast track and the presence of designated pacemakers set the stage for a potentially historic night, with many anticipating that the long-standing world indoor mile record could finally be threatened.
