Begun in 2015, the Magis Miles is a night of one-mile races on the track at Saint Ignatius College Prep in downtown Chicago. There are races for runners of all ages and abilities. The 2022 event will occur on Saturday, June 4, 2022. Races will begin in late afternoon and progress through the evening. One of our main goals with the meet is to make it FUN! Come for your own race and stay for the rest of the evening! 


Magis (pronounced "màh-gis") is a Latin term used by Jesuits and it means 'more' or 'greater'. Jesuits use the term 'magis' to mean doing more for others. Since Saint Ignatius is a Jesuit Catholic school and our objective with this meet is to do more for the track and field community, we thought it was an appropriate name! 

Magis Mile Championship

The highlight of the night will be the Magis Mile Championship at the conclusion of the meet. Our men's and women's races will feature some of the top collegiate and post-collegiate athletes from the Midwest. Registration for the Magis Mile Championship can be done by emailing ed.ernst@ignatius.org.
