Flotrack Partners With The Festival of Miles Presented by Under Armour

Flotrack has partnered with Under Armour and the Big River Running Company to bring you the 2010 Festival of Miles, taking place in St. Louis on Saturday, May 22nd. This marks the first time Under Armour is sponsoring a track and field event and the third time the Big River Running Co. is putting on the Festival of Miles.

Last year, World Championship finalist and Olympian Leo Manzano won the Elite Men's Mile in 3:55. This year looks to be even better with an amazingly deep field including Dorian Ulrey, Rob Myers, Brian Olinger, Andy McClary, Kyle Miller, and Adam Perkins, just to name a  few. Miller and Perkins are both members of the new team, Rogue Elite, from our UA Run Origin Series.  The women's race will feature St. Louis native and high school star Emily Sisson, who led Team USA in the junior race at World Cross in Poland recently. And there's not just elite races, there are divisions for all levels including a celebrity 100m dash. You can check out the order of events below. The purpose of the event is to promote the sport and help support athletes in need. All of the proceeds go to an athlete/athletes in need.

For more info on the event you check out the Festival of Miles website here and coverage from the event can be found here. Check out this video from the Festival of Miles Press Conference that just took place...
