Although it has offered multiple distances, it historically emphasizes the mile race.
From 2012 the meet has offered prize money in an effort to attract more runners.
While the distances offered in the championships has changed slightly over time, the meet consistently hosts a mile race on the track.
Due to this consistent tradition, the meet was recognized and promoted by the RRCA's Bring Back The Mile tour.
[4] All runners regardless of their experience are allowed to race and are subsequently divided into heats depending on their seeded times.
