Simon Greiner Mile Night
About this race
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.

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! Last year's high school elites were Dominic Matthias (Moore, 4:12.35, fastest US freshman mile in 2025) and Bella Nelson (Owasso class of 2025, 4:39.67, unofficial high school state record).
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. Runners who do not meet the standards should register for the High Performance or Open races. If there is still room in the elite fields after registration closes, we will reach out to the top seeds in the High Performance field about bumping you to the elite heat.

Mile Night Pacer
Mile Night is growing, so we need to grow our pacing team! To register as a pacer, email Kyle McKinley at kyle.wayne.mckinley@gmail.com or send us a DM on Instagram at @starsmilenight. Pacers receive free entry and a special Mile Night Pacer singlet, and will be expected to pace one heat on race night. You will be allowed to complete the mile that you pace, but you will be expected to finish at least 800-1000m of the heat at your target pace before stepping off, abandoning your pace, or voluntarily relinquishing the lead position. Steady pacing is a must - no surging or slowing down to hit your splits.
