On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, the city of Des Moines, Iowa, hosted the prestigious 2026 USATF 1 Mile Championships.

作為傳奇的德雷克接力賽(Drake Relays)的核心部分，這場賽事吸引了包括奧運選手在內的頂尖運動員，來到該市快速且經美國田徑協會(USATF)認證的市中心賽道。
As a central part of the legendary Drake Relays, the race drew top-tier athletes, including Olympians, to the city's fast, USATF-certified downtown course.
