WEDNESDAY AUGUST 22 2018 WEATHER 47 V1 - NTNE01Z01MA IF THERE is one athlete who has a love affair with Darwins $1 million Lottoland Mitchell Street Mile it is 2016 champion Jordan Gusman. Gusman beat a host of more fancied runners in his debut race two years ago, including Ryan Gregson, who had made the Rio Olympics 1500m final only weeks before. The Lottoland Mitchell Street Million Dollar Mile is always one of my favourite races of the year where the local community are all so supportive and hospitable, he said. It makes for a great weekend and getting out of the Canberra cold is always an added bonus too. Gusman just missed out on back-to-back wins last year in what was a run for the ages as he stayed in front of Kenyas Silas Kiplagat until the final metres, almost beating the fifth-fastest man in history to the tape. The 23-year-old is back for a third try on Sunday, September 16, this time with a whole new approach. I will be coming back from Europe where I will have raced a few 1500s and miles, he said. I have had great success in previous years at the Mitchell Street Mile running off cross Gusman eyes another win in citys richest mile country training, so the idea that I will be in 1500/mile shape come this years race is exciting. Gusman is the first big name male runner to confirm for the big race following the news that the first and second placegetters from last years womens race, Brittany McGowan and Linden Hall, will make their way north again. A $1 million bonus is on offer to any athlete who can break the world mile record in both races 3 minutes 43.13 seconds for the men and 4:12.56 for the women. The $15,000 first prize makes the Darwin event the worlds richest mile race. Go to mitchellstreet mile.com.au for entries to the event.
