On Sunday 1 February, Josh Kerr will return to the Millrose Games and face a strong field over two miles.
Josh Kerr has been added to the field for the men’s two mile race at the Millrose Games in New York City on Sunday 1 February. He joins previously announced 1500m Olympic Champion Cole Hocker and two-time Olympic medallist Grant Fisher.
It is a distance and venue he knows well. Kerr set the World Indoor Record of 8:00.67 at the 2024 edition of the Millrose Games.
That is not his only previous race at The Armory. In 2023, he raced his first indoor 3000m in eight years and left The Amory with an emphatic win in 7:33.47. It was, at the time, a Scottish Record and put him third on the British all-time list. His 3000m split in 2024 was over three seconds faster.
He won the Wanamaker Mile at in 2022, finishing in 3:52.27. He also raced over the same distance at the 2018 and 2019 editions of the meeting. Kerr was announced to run the Wanamaker Mile at last year’s meeting. However, he was forced to withdraw due to illness.
The full field will be announced in the future.
