This year, 60-metre children’s races were added to the programme to mark World Children’s Athletics Day, which is celebrated on 7 May. A single one-mile combined relay was also held for the first time.

«This is an interesting discipline that we plan to develop further. The main programme of the competition consists of one-mile races — this time there will be six of them,» said Volodymyr Kiliarskyi, President of the Mykolaiv Region Athletics Federation and Chief Judge of the «Mykolaiv Mile».

He noted that the tournament is a sporting showcase for the Mykolaiv region, as it brings together not only local athletes but also representatives from other cities, regions, sports clubs and schools.
