Tomorrow's Hoka One One Long Island Mile Invites All To Attend

Aug 30, 2016

Last year, local professional athlete Kyle Merber set out on a mission: to bring a Sub-4 Mile back to Long Island. To facilitate the mark, Merber created the Hoka One One Long Island Mile, a grass roots track meet held at the center of the Island. The race brought home 7 sub-4 marks last year, and in 2016, the goal is to bring more. Merber has compiled one of the best fields of the summer, so come on down to the event tomorrow, at Saint Anthony's High School.

We caught up with Merber recently, at 5-Star XC Camp, to talk about the event
