The Magis Miles is a night of one-mile races on the track at Saint Ignatius College Prep in downtown Chicago. There are races for runners of all ages and abilities. The 6th annual event will occur on Saturday, June 26th, 2021. Races will begin in late afternoon and progress through the evening. One of our main goals with the meet is to make it FUN! Races start every twelve minutes, music plays throughout the evening, and almost everyone comes away with a PR and a positive experience. Come for your own race and stay for the rest of the evening! Magis (pronounced "màh-gis") is a Latin term used by Jesuits and means 'more' or 'greater'. Jesuits use the term 'magis' to mean doing more for others. Since Saint Ignatius is a Jesuit Catholic school and our objective with this meet is to do more for the track and field community, we thought it was an appropriate name!

Our men's and women's races will feature some of the top collegiate and post-collegiate athletes from the Midwest.
