Inaugural ‘Bring Back the Mile’ Tour Announced
February 08, 2013
By Presidio Sports
Santa Barbara’s Ryan Lamppa has always thought that the Mile distance deserves more credit. Once a showcase in American sports, the Mile has gradually slipped from prominence in running competitions throughout the country.
Return the Mile to prominence on the American sports and cultural landscape by elevating and celebrating the Mile to create a national movement.
ELEVATE
Bring Back the Mile as the premier event in the sport, and increase interest in and media coverage of the Mile for both those who love the distance as well as the general public.
CELEBRATE
Bring Back the Mile to celebrate the storied distance and to recognize the people who made and make the Mile great and to promote Mile events and the next generation of U.S. Milers.
NATIONAL MOVEMENT
Bring Back the Mile to create a national movement for the Mile as America’s Distance and to replace the 1600 meters at High School State Track & Field Meets across the country.
