How do you do the mile race is it a kinda handicap based on time group?

Pick a time to aim for, people aiming for a similar time start together (eg all the sub 5:30s) while we cheer them on & take photos, then the next group goes when they've all finished. Then we eat cake

Lizzie - is this your first mile? I'm gettig a bit greedy cos I was convinced I'd be 9.** at best and paced by BCRB at Tooting I did 8.30. Well chuffed. Paced by RFJ at Reading I did 8.10 so although I've been a lazy arse the last couple of weeks I really want 7.** paced by whoever.
The above three lines is factual without being at all interesting.

John - first/last mile I did was in April @9:32. Now predicted 8:12 from my 5K time (without vomming) so I think 8:10 is achievable & possibly less

Could we have an element of fun in this? Could we have a one mile wheelbarrow race where the pusher and the passenger swap over every 400m?

... and an actual serious question. The track is 400m. A mile isn't exactly 4 laps. Are there markings for one mile? Does anyone know about this stuff?
