The Downtown Yakima Mile is back: Saturday, July 2nd, 2022. Tune in here to catch all the action.

The prize purse for the elite runners grew to over $45,000 in 2021, sparking fierce competition in the final two elite races. Nikki Hiltz charged away in the final two blocks to set a new Washington state mile record for women with a time of 4 minutes, 21.50 seconds. The men’s race featured Olympian Matthew Centrowitz, who won a gold medal in 2016 in the 1,500-meters, the first U.S. runner to win the event since 1908. However, former Oregon All-American Sam Prakel outsprinted the competitive field and held off 2019 runner-up Tripp Hurt by less than a second. Prakel won the $5,000 first prize in a time of 3 minutes, 54.9 seconds.

This year, the Downtown Yakima Mile Committee is delighted to offer $50,000 in prize money across competitive and elite races. Our goal is to provide a healthy community event open to everyone, highlighting and celebrating the Yakima Valley on a local, regional, and national scale.
