The 117th Millrose Games are set for Saturday afternoon. When the professional races get underway at The Armory at 4 p.m., hold onto your hats for two straight hours of scintillating action.

Last year saw two world records and three American records fall. With even stronger fields in 2025, Millrose could outdo itself.

You can follow along with live results and watch on NBC Sports or Peacock (subscription required), and we’ll have live updates on all the CITIUS MAG social channels.

It was a race for the ages. The Prefontaine Classic Bowerman Mile delivered on the hype with 9 men breaking 3:50 and reigning World champ Josh Kerr taking down reigning Olympic champ Jakob Ingebrigtsen 3:45.34 to 3:45.60.

No amount of trash talk can trump results, and Kerr has not lost to Ingebrigtsen since June of last year.

Chris Chavez, Mac Fleet and Karen Lesiewicz had to record a podcast about it immediately after.

We also talk about:

– Keely Hodgkinson shows the world why she’s the one to watch in the women’s 800m, clocking a world leading 1:55.78 and defeating reigning World champ Mary Moraa.

– Diribe Welteji clocks her fourth sub-4 of the season with a 3:53.75 victory in the 1500m, leading 6 athletes under 4 and holding off a hard-charging Jessica Hull (3:55.97, Australian record).

– Elle St. Pierre keeps her incredible 2024 season rolling with a big 3:56.00 personal best in the 1500m, good for 3rd place. St. Pierre moves up from #6 to #2 on the U.S. all-time list. More takeaways from the 1500m.

Amy Bunnage is one of Australia’s most exciting and talented young runners.

Amy is well known in the Australian running community, after a stellar junior career. During these years Amy won six Australian championships. 

Amy is perhaps best known for breaking the Australian U20 3000m record when she clocked 8:51.90 at the 2023 Sydney Track Classic as a 17-year-old, where she finished third behind Jessica Hull. The time is the 14th fastest all-time by an Australian of any age.

We caught up with Amy at a pivotal moment in her career. She has just kicked off a 4 year scholarship at Stanford University, and interestingly she has just signed an NIL deal with On Running.  

We sat down with both Amy, and her long-time friend, who now works for ON Running, Craig Mottram, to dive deep into the NIL deal, and what it really means for Amy.....
