PUMA Mile Invite, video courtesy of FloTrack.org, Note by Larry Eder

The PUMA Mile Invitational 2010 is almost here! April 9, 2010 is the deadline to enter, so, do not miss it, if you have run 4:05 or under for the guys and 4:48 for the mile for the women! If this video does not get you inspired, then you need to go to Peets coffee and a) buy a pound of the house blend, b) rub it all over your body. We have added the contract below, right after the http://www.Flotrack.org video!

The beauty of the PUMA Mile is that it does give young athletes on the cusp a chance to continue racing. Last year’s winner competed for Great Britain the World Indoor Champs in Doha at 1,500 meters! A great idea, and they guys at Flotrack keep it alive!
What I like most about this promotion is that, once again,creativity wins out over a huge budget. PUMA is putting $3,000 worth of footwear and apparel, 10,000 greenbacks, some promotions in magazines, and a live show on Flotrack.org! A nice promotion, that ties into the spirit of our sport!
Remember, to run the PUMA Mile, you must have your application emailed to pumamile@puma.com no later than Friday, April 9, 2010! Race will be shown on Friday, April 16, 2010 at 7:45 PST on Flotrack.org.
