Count on records burning at the Atlanta USATF indoor national championships -- but not from the Dragilas and Trammels alone. A milestone masters race Saturday, March 3, will pit world and American record holders and champions at the Georgia Dome.

These elite men's and women's mile races will include runners aged 40 and up.

Featured runners include Olympians Graeme Fell and Sam Ngatia, world WAVA or USATF masters champions Anselm LeBourne, Jamin Aasum, Noland Shaheed, Tim McMullen, Dave Clingan, Rose Monday, Patti Ford and Carolyn Smith-Hanna and numerous other masters U.S. and world age-group record holders. Several age-group indoor mile records are expected to be broken.
