Stars Mile Night

About the Event

Be a part of history in a twilight track meet starring the best high school, collegiate, and elite runners in Oklahoma and beyond! Like last year's race, we'll hold races for all ages and abilities, with the night culminating in star-studded high school and elite fields attempting to break state records and legendary barriers. As always, we'll have plenty of heats, dozens of pacers, and the perfect environment to crush your personal best. The race will be free to spectators, and we'll have vendors and music to enjoy between and during the night's races!

Mile Night registrations and donations help support the Simon Greiner Program, which helps OKC public school students succeed in life and reach their full potential by creating new and expanded opportunities to participate and excel in cross country and track & field.

Order of events:

be bold. Running Elementary 800m - Two laps (half a mile) around the track for the little ones, with medals for all finishers courtesy of be bold. Running!
Arnold & Smith Law Middle School Mile
Scissortail Running Open Mile - Running veterans and novices alike take a turn to test their four-lap speed
OK Runner High School Mile - Join the hundreds of high schoolers who have set PRs at Mile Night
Simon Greiner Elite Mile* - The fastest one-mile race ever to be run on Oklahoma soil!

BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR - We will reserve one slot in the men's and women's elite fields so the fastest Oklahoma high schooler can compete alongside the best of the best!

We ask that all high schoolers still register only for the high school races. We will have target times for each heat based on the seeded entries, and pacers for as many heats as possible. After registration closes, the top high school boys' and girls' seed time from Oklahoma will be notified and moved to the elite field.

The Elite standards are 4:10 for men and 4:50 for women. All runners who do not meet the standards should register for the Open race. If there is still room in the elite fields after registration closes, we will reach out to the top seeds in the Open field about bumping you to the elite races.
