Hicham El Guerrouj set the record for the fastest mile with a record of 3:43.13 in July 1999 while racing in Rome. He was trying to beat Noureddine Morceli's record at 3:44.39. While he was racing the second place runner Noah Ngeny also beat Morceli's record with 3:43.40. Because they beat the former record the officials rewarded them with $50,000.

The mile run is not an event in the Olympic Games, the 1500 meter run is contested.

The mile run is not an Olympic event. The 1500 meter run is the event in the Olympics that is closest to the mile run.
