1 mile race on the athletics track at Sportcity with electronic timing and photo-finish.

We hope that the full results will be available on this site Thursday 17th July.

We have the England Commonwealth Games Athletes coming along to present prizes and T-Shirts and have sponsorship from Soreen and Ron Hill and hope to have a member of David Coleman’s Family along to present the MANCHESTER MILE (Original) TROPHY (as shown on the David Coleman Tribute on BBC 1 last week) to the winner.

The evening will start at 5:30 pm with races for the U15s and U17s. The Senior races will start at 7:15 pm. It will be pre-entries only with runners being graded on their estimated time. The Manchester Mile Trophy will be presented to the fastest man and The Rose Bowl to the fastest woman. Trophies will also be awarded to the fastest male and female veterans (minimum age 40 and 35 respectively) and to the fastest male and female U15 and U17.
