What is theĀ ASICS Blue Jean Mile?

In 2020, Johnny Gregorek set a record for the fastest mile in blue jeans to honor his late brother, Patrick, who had lost his battle with mental illness. Patrick loved running for the fun of it, and Johnny felt he would have enjoyed watching him run as fast as possible in jeans. Now, what started as a tribute is an annual event that helps raise funds and awareness to support mental wellness.
