Millrose Games Wanamaker Mile

Growing up in Boston, I had the chance to the see the Millrose Games on TV when they happened. That meant being able to watch the Wanamaker Mile, and the Chairman of the Boards, Eamonn Coghlan, racing and winning.

These days, unless you're there at the event, you have to wait to see it on tape delay. So, if you're recovering from your morning run, NBC has it on tape delay at 2:30 p.m. One can only hope that live viewing of track events in the U.S. becomes more commonplace.

(An option, though unfortunately not for tonight, is WCSN where you can watch a lot of track events.)

UPDATE: Feb. 2, 2:50 p.m. Apologies, the Millrose tape-delay starts at 3 p.m. today. I must have looked at an old USATF schedule that popped up on Google - should have doublechecked it with the WNBC TV listing.
