The Puma Unattached Mile

Flotrack got a holler from their friends at Puma about an idea that had been brewing up at their HQ in Boston. Puma felt that recently many good runners weren't receiving sponsorships, and they wanted to do something about it in conjunction with their sponsorship of the Mt. SAC relays. Thus the Puma Mile was born, here's the deal:

Twelve male runners will have the opportunity to compete for a one-year sponsorship from Puma, at the Puma Mile at the Mt. SAC relays, hopefully leading to a full-time sponsorship in the future. Winner takes all.........

The twelve (12) athletes selected to compete in the PUMA Mile will be racing for a one (1) year PUMA endorsement contract, with a three thousand dollar stipend ($3000) in PUMA product and a three thousand dollars ($3000)  travel budget.
