Wellington Masters
Mile |
|
The mile is an iconic distance that is
rarely raced since athletics in countries that traditionally
use imperial measures moved to metric to conform to
international standards. The
mile race is 1609.32 metres. It remains the only imperial
distance for which the IAAF records an official world
record.
It has
never appeared at the Olympics and is not offered at any
Masters championships. Opportunities to race the distance
are limited to standalone events.
The addition of the mile category to the
NZ Masters records is a recent change, followed by
Wellington Masters, so the lack of mile
races mean the records themselves are sparse. It is certain
that many otherwise eligible records have not been
identified from pre-record tracking days.
Only track miles are accorded record
status. Road miles are a separate event for which no records
are maintained.
Wellington re-introduced the mile champs
in the 2021/22 season after a long period during which the
event was not held. It was not held for the 2022/23 season
and its future remains unclear. |
