The Sir Walter Miler is an outdoor one mile race held annually at Meredith College in Raleigh North Carolina, typically the first Friday in August.
[2] A predecessor event to the Sir Walter Miler was held in June 2013 at Cardinal Gibbons High School,[3] referred to as the Sandman Mile.
[citation needed] After a break during the covid-impacted 2020 season, Sir Walter returned at a new venue for the pro field; Cardinal Gibbons High School.
[citation needed] The eighth Sir Walter Miler featured two state records, incentivized by $5000 bonuses for that achievement.
Nikki Hiltz won the women's elite mile with a resounding kick from 300m out to break the NC state record in 4:21.89.
