New York City has held the distinction of hosting the world’s greatest indoor track meet, the Millrose Games, since 1908. Madison Square Garden has been the home of the Millrose Games since 1914, making it the longest running sporting event in Garden history. As part of the prestigious USA Track & Field "Golden Spike Tour," the Millrose Games continues to bring the finest athletes in Track & Field to Madison Square Garden each winter.

In the 94 year history of the Millrose Games, a remarkable 86 world records have been tied or set and 117 Millrose winners have been Olympic Champions. The list of participants, past and present, includes names such as Carl Lewis, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Gail Devers, Stacey Dragila and Maurice Green.

The most celebrated event of the Millrose Games is the famed Wanamaker Mile, named in the early 1900s in honor of the head of the Wanamaker Department Store in New York City, Rodman Wanamaker. The Wanamaker Mile is run at the unconventional time of 10 PM, continuing a tradition started by the legendary sports announcer Ted Husing. Mr. Husing annually would broadcast the race live during the nightly news.

In 1999, the Millrose Hall of Fame was instituted to honor the finest performers in the storied history of the Millrose Games. New York City is proud to honor the Millrose Hall-of-Famers and to continue the tradition of bringing the greatest Track & Field athletes to Madison Square Garden.
