Order of events:

* BE BOLD. RUNNING ELEMENTARY 800M - Two laps (half a mile) around the track for the little ones, with medals for all finishers courtesy of _be bold. Running_!
* ARNOLD & SMITH LAW MIDDLE SCHOOL MILE
* SCISSORTAIL RUNNING OPEN MILE - Running veterans and novices alike take a turn to test their four-lap speed
* OK RUNNER HIGH SCHOOL MILE - Join the hundreds of high schoolers who have set PRs at Mile Night

BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR - We will reserve one slot in the men's and women's elite fields so the fastest Oklahoma high schooler can compete alongside the best of the best!

WE ASK THAT ALL HIGH SCHOOLERS STILL REGISTER ONLY FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL RACES. We will have target times for each heat based on the seeded entries, and pacers for as many heats as possible. After registration closes, the top high school boys' and girls' seed time from Oklahoma will be notified and moved to the elite field.

The Elite standards are 4:10 for men and 4:50 for women. All runners who do not meet the standards should register for the Open race. If there is still room in the elite fields after registration closes, we will reach out to the top seeds in the Open field about bumping you to the elite races.

    Mile Night is growing, so we need to grow our pacing team! To register as a pacer, email Kyle McKinley at kyle.wayne.mckinley@gmail.com or send us a DM on Instagram at @starsmilenight. Pacers receive free entry and a special Mile Night Pacer singlet, and will be expected to pace one heat on race night. You will be allowed to complete the mile that you pace, but you will be expected to finish at least 800-1000m of the heat at your target pace before stepping off, abandoning your pace, or voluntarily relinquishing the lead position. Steady pacing is a must - no surging or slowing down to hit your splits.
