Laban Rotich (l) & Bernard Legat (r)

Tickets for the 101st Millrose Games are available. The Friday, February 1 meet at Madison Square Garden is part of USA Track & Field's Visa Championship Series.

Millrose Games is one of the world’s longest oldest continuously run sport events. The meet, which was born in 1908 as a competition between employees of the John Wanamaker department store has grown into the highlight of the world's indoor season.

Its heart and soul for 81 years has been the Wanamaker Mile. The race is held at 10:00 p.m. every year and features some of the world’s best milers.
