Engles, Kampf, Murphy Headline Fields at USATF 1 Mile Road Championships presented by Toyota
DES MOINES, Iowa – USATF champions, World Championship qualifiers and an Olympic medalist headline Wednesday’s fields at the USATF 1 Mile Road Championships presented by Toyota hosted by the Grand Blue Mile in Des Moines, Iowa.
The USATF 1 Mile Road Championships presented by Toyota are the second stop on the 2021 USATF Running Circuit. Fans can tune-in for the live broadcast beginning at 6:50pm CT on USATF.TV with a +PLUS subscription.
Craig Engels and Olympic 800m bronze medalist
Clayton Murphy are the pre-race favorites on the men’s side as they take to the line Wednesday evening. Engels won the Trials of Miles 5000m race in late February, which came off of a fifth place 1500m performance at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix two weeks earlier. The Portland-based runner will have a chance to show he’s back in championship form in Des Moines, but will be tested by Murphy and others.
