Cole Hocker Ready for Another Showdown with Grant Fisher | 2026 Millrose Games 2-Mile Announcement
Double Olympic bronze medalist Grant Fisher and 1500m Olympic champion and 5000m World champion Cole Hocker will renew their rivalry for a rematch in the two-mile at the Millrose Games on February 1st, 2026 at the Armory Track and Field Center in New York City. The Millrose Games are the second stop in the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold calendar. “Millrose is the place to be,” Hocker says. “The performances match the atmosphere, and anytime something’s in New York, it’s going to be special. The crowd feels like it’s right on top of the track, which is great for racing. And the stadium setup just creates this amazing energy. Highly recommend going if you haven’t.” Last year’s 3000m duel between the two was arguably one of the greatest races in U.S. history. The two American greats took advantage of near-flawless pacing through 1800m before Fisher took control of the race and laid down back-to-back sub-30-second laps (29.82-29.81) but Hocker refused to break. With three laps remaining in the race, Hocker boldly swung to the lead and pushed with a 29.08 and then a 28.86, but Fisher stayed on him. The bell lap produced one of the most memorable finishes of the 2025 indoor track season as Fisher clawed back on the last bend and crossed the finish line first in 7:22.91 for a new world record. Hocker followed in 7:23.14. Both men were under Lamecha Girma’s previous world record of 7:23.81. It was a perfect snapshot of why the Millrose Games endures as one of the best meets in the world. “You’re guaranteed electric performances and most years you get several historic ones,” Fisher says. “It’s my favorite indoor meet: intimate, loud, historic building…. The atmosphere is unreal. Everyone shows up ready for a battle.” At the 2024 edition of the meet, two-time 1500m Olympic medalist Josh Kerr shattered countryman Mo Farah’s two-mile world record with a 8:00.67 victory. Fisher finished him in 8:03.62 for the third-fastest time in history and the American record. Hocker is No. 6 all-time with his 8:05.70 personal best. The full field will be announced at a later date.

2025 NEW YORK CITY MARATHON LIVE WATCHALONG: PRESENTED BY HOKA
The 54th running of the New York City Marathon is shaping up to be a great one. The women’s race features four of the most exciting road racers on the scene today, all duking it out for claim to the title of world’s top active marathoner. The high-quality men’s field looks wide open, and the masters battle between two of the sport’s GOATs is sure to keep things interesting. And you can always count on the million-plus spectators lining the streets of all five boroughs to bring unmatched energy to the race. With a forecast calling for pretty ideal conditions—low-40º temps at the start, a high that shouldn’t exceed the mid-50s, and gentle breezes—the weather shouldn’t slow things down too much; that’s a job for the notoriously challenging course. Not counting the Sydney Marathon, which only joined the World Marathon Major ranks this August, New York City boasts the slowest course records of all WMMs. (The men’s record of 2:04:58 was run by Tamirat Tola in 2023, and Margaret Okayo set the women’s mark of 2:22:31 way back in 2003.) If the other non-Boston WMMs have a tendency to become time-trial-like races of pure attrition, NYC is more often a tactical affair, albeit one with plenty of bridge-induced attrition! HOW TO WATCH The professional women’s field is scheduled to start at 8:35am ET, with the men following at 9:05am. From there, the civilian fields will get underway on a rolling basis, beginning at 9:10am. Coverage of the race will begin a bit earlier, at 8:00am, and will conclude at 11:30am. You can tune in via New York’s ABC 7 if you’re local, or ESPN2 if you’re not in the Tri-State area. Additionally, ABC7NY.com will stream live from the finish line from 10:30am until 6:00pm, should you want to watch a particular athlete cross it. The HOKA Flagship store will host CITIUS MAG’s coverage of the elite races. Join Chris Chavez, Eric Jenkins, and Aisha Praught Leer as they bring you their commentary, analysis, and humor with our pre-race show on Friday, and then our LIVE watchalong on Sunday morning.
