In the first decade of the 1900's, Wilbur and Orville Wright successfully developed the first working motor operated airplane. Much of their world changing work took place in the Dayton, Ohio area. Just as this region was a launchpad for the Wright Brothers success, we hope that it too will be a launchpad for success for high school, collegiate, and post-collegiate distance runners at the Take Flight Distance Classic.
*Open, unattached, master's, and club athletes are welcome to compete.*
Elite Men's Mile
The goal for this race is to take down the fastest mile ran on Ohio soil. The current mark stands at 3:57.15, ran by Tom Byers in 1983. To help reach that goal, we are offering prize money to the top 3 finishers ($500-$300-$100) and a $1000 bonus to the winner of the race if they are under the current record.
