Defending GNC Live Well Liberty Mile champions Jordan McNamara and Gabriele Grunewald will return to Pittsburgh to defend their titles in the Liberty Mile on Friday, July 31, 2015. The 4th edition features a prize purse of $25,000, the third largest for U.S. road miles.
A two-time event runner-up in 2012 and 2013, Jordan McNamara edged out 2012 Olympic silver medalist Leo Manzano in the 2014 race with a time of 4 minutes, 3 seconds.
Grunewald took the women’s crown last year clocking 4:33. She outkicked her Team USA Minnesota teammate and two-time defending race champion Heather Kampf. The event record holder Kampf again looks to be Grunewald’s biggest challenger at the 2015 race.
The American Development Pro Mile features $20,000 in guaranteed prize money. The GNC Live Well Liberty Mile is the third stop on the Bring Back the Mile Grand Prix Tour 2015.
