Championship standards set the bar, the fastest of the fast, racing for the title. Open standards keep the door wide open. Come race, compete, and chase something big. Different standards, same energy, same lights, same opportunity! 

Jim Ryun, the first high schooler to break 4 minutes in the mile, will be the official starter of the RunningLane Kansas City Relays Mile. And it’s only right that the Mile now carries his name.

When the gun goes off, remember who lit the path, then go chase something timeless.
