Race History:
Although, relatively new, the East Tennessee Chocolate Milk mile gained great success during the first two years that it was run. The first year showed an epic battle between Maclean O’Donnell and Matt Sonnenfeldt, in a race that showed its truly how fast you drink your milk that separates the champions from the rest. Maclean O’Donnell lived up to his chugging ability and beat Sonnenfeldt in a time of 4:51 to 5:01. Both under the previous World Record of 5:04! The next year the rematch was set, but not without a little pre race controversy. Could Maclean “WR” O’Donnell, not only
win, but break the new world record of 4:44 without any spikes? In the end Macleans own mistake might have cost him the race as Matt Sonnenfeldt sailed in with a 4:50 to 5:04 victory; making him second all time world. The 2010 Milk Mile also earned $340 for the Markie Voyles Adopt-a-Kid Progam (link and information here: Markie Voyles Adopt-a-Kid Program).
Its a great way for runners to raise money for a worthy cause while testing themselves in a way they never dreamed possible.
