Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Monday, 24 August 2026, is Mile run at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships.
The mile run and its metric 1500 metres equivalent have been held at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships since its founding in 1965. With the exception of two 1500 m races contested in 1984 and 1985, the mile is the only event on the NCAA schedule that has not transitioned from imperial measurements to metric. Hand timing was used until 1975, while starting in 1976 fully automatic timing was used. In 1986 and 1987, the 1⁄10-mile track that the races were run on was 25 inches (640 mm) per lap short, making the actual race distance less than one mile those years.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:15 UTC on Monday, 24 August 2026.
