It's great seeing that 11 year old kid win a serious prize. Something like that could impact him for the rest of his life by setting him on a running career.
@@RossNixon His time was very respectable. I was more shocked when he went sub-6 minute pace on the first lap and was like "no f-ing way. can he really keep this up?". With a little more even pacing, he should be able to shave off considerable time.

Hey Nick, 33 year old dad of 3 boys here. My family and I love your videos. Your super humble, great attitude and you make running and working out fun by getting people of all ages and athletic ability involved. And your also teaching people that it’s ok to suffer a little bit to get to that next level.👍. May the Lord bless you bro. Shout out from Grand Rapids, Michigan 🇺🇸
Mad respect to you Nick not only have you bettered yourself as a man and a runner at a competitive level but now you're helping the community and setting a great example of transparency to help others. We need more people like you. Respect.
I was really impressed with Jen's time, 4:54 for a woman is truly impressive. Too bad she wasn't slightly faster it would have been fun to see her pass Nick at the end.
Dude, you're beasting it out right now! RunGum is hitting record sales and your TH-cam channel hitting all time highs, all while bringing a ton of people in the sport together in a unique way. Keep it up brother! 💪🏼👊🏼
well slightly fast considering its actually 1209 meters where the time was taken from. Its a 1609 meter race not a 1600. or in better terms a true mile race. so at 1200 he was probably like 3:20 haha
He should be using his platform to raise awareness to stay home and safe, run while being safe and away from others. This video is literally the opposite of what needs to be done. This video is sending the wrong message.
For some reason this comment keeps disappearing but: Hey Nick! Today I set a new PB in the 3000m with a time of 12:38. This time last year I was running 14:30 and only made the last spot for my age group for my school team. It was also around this time last year that I first saw your videos. Not only was I instantly hooked but you inspired me to go out and try my best and work hard towards some good times. Sinse then I have run 4-5 times a week consistently with no let up. I just wanted to let you know that your videos are amazing and inspire many people like myself to put the work and effort in. Thank you so much for helping to get to where I am today and keep up the awesome videos. Thank you, from Isaac
Damn man that’s great, I wish I had the drive you have dude, when I was 11, I’m not even joking I ran 10:30 3000m but I did one yesterday and couldn’t even get under 16mins, I am always jealous of people who have the drive that I don’t, so well done I hope for the best for you
I know this is technically allowed now in Oregon, but this amount of people together breathing in essentially the same air while intensely working out def makes me anxious and worried about COVID transmission.
This is frowned upon but 20k people protesting in the same area is supported? It was funny to see the cdc guidelines of “no more than 10 people in a group but 100 for protests”😂
That Guy the huge differences is almost every protestor is wearing a mask while all these runners aren’t. I understand it’s better to be outside but they’re all running around the same area and it just makes me very worried.
@@timithy4569 I can't believe people are doing stupid shit like this for a TH-cam video. Like I love the channel and everything but it drives me crazy that people do selfish stuff like this. These kids are runners and obviously have strong respiratory systems, would probably recover from COVID with moderate symptoms, or even worse, be asymptomatic. I hope running with Nick was worth risking contracting the virus and spreading it to their families who may not be as healthy as they are. I can't imagine the guilt someone would feel watching their parents struggle to walk up the stairs from all of the scar tissue that developed in their lungs from COVID-19 :-) but thats none of my business. All love, just being realistic. Why are people pretending like we still aren't in the middle of a global crisis?
Couldn’t agree more. This video made me crazy. Let’s see. He encouraged people to travel from all over the US. No one wore masks. He’s shaking hands with everyone. A mass pack start. And it’s the mile. Tons of jostling. Oh yeah, nearby CA’s Covid numbers are off the charts. Stupid and irresponsible.
I bought some of the brooks elmn8 spikes right before track season was supposed to start but I’ve never been able to wear them. This just makes me even more excited!!!
Nick, I love your content, but please understand that a lot of HS runners watch your channel and want to emulate you. Most states are requiring pretty strict start up guidelines for HS sports requiring masks and social distancing, and when they see this (from and Olympian and someone with a biochemistry degree) it makes coaches jobs that much harder. Even if you don't believe in the severity of the virus, please do better at setting an example for your subscribers.
Zachary Heath Don't be such a snowflake Zac. Getting your panties all in a bunch because someone asks someone else if they can do something reasonable isn't a good look.
Rofl! I love it. “ I think I got 4:20?” Nick:” oboy here in Eugene! Hahaha!” ROFL. It’s soo totally true though I live in Portland, and I go down to Eugene a few times and yeah only in Eugene haha
All the way on the East Coast in CT, but I wish I could come to these they look like so much fun! I'm going into college next year as a Decathlete and this would be some fun way to "compete" now that events have been all canceled and stuff. Way to get the community out there!
"i dont think anyones gonna beat chicago man". i want to go, im 12 and im from new hampshire, however i like short distance, 800 at most. beat that if i do go which is highly highly highly highly unlikely
@@thewolfman540 Everyone got different sinthomps and consequences, you're talking about your experience but there are other experiences that ends very bad.
Nick, love your channel, but come on man. This is so irresponsible! You’re shaking hands, encouraging people to drive cross country, and cramming everyone on the starting line. As a role model to thousands of children around the globe, wear. a. mask! Show them how to be a leader and lead by example. We are still in the middle of a global pandemic with no end in sight. I challenge you to think of creative ways to engage your fans while social distancing (i.e. encourage your fans to do a virtual 5k next week and screen shot their times). Please, please don’t be a part of the problem!
30 hr drive for this event? Distance runners will literally do anything to get a race in🤣. Respect🙌
I couldn't believe it! So cool.
@@nicksymmonds I think you should pay out to the furthest traveller next week, gotta recoup some of the gas money 😆
@@elfmas this is a v good idea
Nick can you do like different events across the country so everyone can get a chance to come?
Track&Flood so many likes how do u get that lol
Literally was waiting for this alllll week - a Nick Symmonds video is a prime way to start the weekend
Thank you!!
I agree with you and Nick you are the best person to ever exist and you are the reason I run
For reaallll
So true
Literally forgot it was Friday
It's great seeing that 11 year old kid win a serious prize. Something like that could impact him for the rest of his life by setting him on a running career.
Loved the look on his face!!
@@nicksymmonds I think he was just in shock
His time was fine. There are some people reading and commenting who are slower than that.

Cjj23 • 83 years ago yeah how was your 83 years
It's his name
Hidden talent, totally didn't expect those slick hacky sack moves
It’s a track thing haha everyone plays hacky sack
Your hackysack game is unreal 😳
AJ Lapray the man the myth the legend 😎
AJ Lapray bruh you should’ve commentated this race again
AJ Lapray what’s good aj play DEVINTHELAB
Stop watching videos and upload another one about your G-League offers!! 😂😂
Hi aj I am a huge fan!!
No one:
Absolutely no runner:
Nick Symmonds: Warms up two hours before the race
hahaha As a pro my warmup often started 90 min+ before the race
Nick Symmonds how many minutes did your warm up last from start of warm up to call room
How slow do you run your warmups and what distance?
Gabe Sawyer He has a video explaining his warm up
Dead joke
Evan winning a race will be the true underdog story, love his character, great sportsmanship!

Dakota had that look on his face cuz he’s secretly a NCAA collegiate athlete
Hahahahahaha you actually made me laugh!
Mad respect to you Nick not only have you bettered yourself as a man and a runner at a competitive level but now you're helping the community and setting a great example of transparency to help others. We need more people like you. Respect.
I think Dakota was a bit stunned at the end.... :D
Nice gesture Mr Symmonds :)
It’s a bird... it’s a plane... it’s Evan Gonzalez!!
Damn, fastest woman running 4:54 is insane. More impressive than the 4:23 for men.
i found it hella impressive as well, speaking as a college runner
Seriously,4:54 is legit!
Fr I’m a dude and my fastest mile is 4:44. I’m a 800 runner with a 1:59 pb .
400 is 50 seconds
I was really impressed with Jen's time, 4:54 for a woman is truly impressive. Too bad she wasn't slightly faster it would have been fun to see her pass Nick at the end.
I have been getting seriously pumped every time I see one of these videos released. Keep it up!!
Today I learned I can hold my breath for 4 minutes and 23 seconds. These TH-cam races are intense!! 🥵🤣
I have been literary waiting for this just to see the “guy with long hair” Evan I think . Win
He won in the elimination mile :)
I think I’m most impressed with how good Nick actually is with a hacky sack😂
I learned to juggle while waiting for other runners to catch up. Nick learned hacky sack.
He used to play soccer so he probably freestyled while he was at it
I been waiting mile is my favorite event, i been waiting all day for video to drop. This is my motivation. Never give up on your dream folks!
Next is marathon with subscribers, winner gets $4219.5
I don’t understand why exactly 4219.5 lmao is that number significant to a marathon?
Will Green Yes
@@epicbird8962 What does it mean?
@@kalonjilowe2127 its the length 42km
The length is 42.195 km in a marathon
I’m more impressed with the Hacky sack skills😮😮😮😮😮
haha thank you!! :D
@@nicksymmonds Yea what in the world? Does that translate into soccer juggling skills as well?
@@nicksymmonds You should probably make a vid out of that lol
The little boy when he had his mind blown made me lol
I love the positivity that you promote this should be a show all amateurs
Is it bad I already knew who won from Ben Crawford’s channel😂😅Also the leader of the first lap is an Affolder
Same😂😂
You knew who crossed the finish line first, but there are MANY winners in this race!!
Affolder?
That was brilliant to watch!!!! Thanks Nick! I've been loving these videos!
NIck I respect ya ' man and all you do for the sport, but we're in the middle of a pandemic!
I knoww they're driving across the country and not even standing far apart 😰
Ok?
Dude, you're beasting it out right now! RunGum is hitting record sales and your TH-cam channel hitting all time highs, all while bringing a ton of people in the sport together in a unique way. Keep it up brother! 💪🏼👊🏼
Shoutout to the guy wearing the dunder mifflin shirt what a legend
lol i missed this
YESS!!! I’ve been waiting for this video forever 🙌🙌
Let's Gooooooo!!!!! Mile Time!!!! Evan has some style!
wowww... you make running more exciting than anything ive seen in decades...
well done
doc johnny
I just love that social distancing
Lol
Social distancing between 1st and 2nd
Safety first🤣🤣😂😂
Shut up bruh no one cares they are all healthy
@@felipepatinha360 u have the iq of a potatoe😹
Great video. Predicted the winning time to the second :) . Would love to see a 10,000m vs. subscribers.
who else already knew the race’s result because they watched Ben Crawford’s video?🙋🏻♀️
AWESOME stuff Nick! Love your enthusiasm!!!
30 hour drive gets hella respect!! Shout out to Evan for always showing up and putting in work!! Can't wait to get up to Eugene for that 5000m!! :)
Hope they didn't get covid and now spread it across the country on their return trip home!
Love that you get everyone together like this bro Great work keep it up 🙏🏻
Take a shot every time Nick says "that's what I'm talking about"...
This is amazing..... I love this video the narrative the peoples attitudes the editing.. hell of a job! Keep it up!
Nobody:
Eliud Kipchoge: Am I a joke to you? Holds 4 minutes, 35 second mile pace for 26.22 Miles
cringe
I like the community spirit these vlogs give off a great vibe come on Evan !!
10:00 “if I don’t get to the line before this guy, I’m gay”
I was so happy when you gave the 100 bucks to the kid. Means a loooooot to him. And you just gained a few dozens ambassadors of your brand.
Can we just acknowledge how amazin the pacer was
he did his 1200 in 3.21
exactly 67 sec 400m
well slightly fast considering its actually 1209 meters where the time was taken from. Its a 1609 meter race not a 1600. or in better terms a true mile race. so at 1200 he was probably like 3:20 haha
Nick you are an inspiration to so many trying to stay in tip top shape during quarantine😀
hey man just curious, are there precautions being made for COVID. Seems to be a lot of people without masks even in the audience
Bump
doesn´t seem like they take it serious
He should be using his platform to raise awareness to stay home and safe, run while being safe and away from others. This video is literally the opposite of what needs to be done. This video is sending the wrong message.
@@jaredarmstrong8224 if you at risk stay home
Stop worrying so much.
Asymptomatic carriers transmitting COVID19 is “very rare” (WHO).
No one there had symptoms. Its ok you can have fun.
360 cam is cool. Captures the chaos of the start of a race.
COVID central. That track will be closed before you know it
The track near my house is closed to the public
Go cry about it
Every new video gets better. Cool race! Just watched after my super slow 3 miles on road. Down 12 pounds in 5 weeks. A long ways to go.
The amount of cameras used is ridiculous! But I ain't complaining
actually it would be super cool if there were cyclists to film for even better footage
That little kid finished the race, and in 6.56 that's really great!! Good job little dude
Nick be showing off his hacky sack skills
spent wayyyyyy too much time playing hacky sack when i was a kid :D

Love the vids! Probably will never make it out there but I bet I could beat you Nick in the 100 meter dash!🤪🤪 Keep up the great work!
Ah yes, the three genders: male, female, and kids
💀
Such awesome videos. I think these videos really put on a show and bring some light to what’s going on in the world right now. These are awesome!
Would love to go, but covid
Nick symmonds is one of my fav TH-camrs keep up the good work
Good video, but if theres lot of new cases of coronavirus on Oregon you are completely guilty
Nick is the man. Heck of a leader. Thankfully to have found him.
I know this is technically allowed now in Oregon, but this amount of people together breathing in essentially the same air while intensely working out def makes me anxious and worried about COVID transmission.
Yeah I thought so too! I live in Belgium and this would not be allowed (or you would have to wear masks)

Seriously. We finally find the man behind the camera
Andrew Suda right
I’m not the only one who laughed my ass off at 5:08 am I? 😂☠️😂
This is why there are huge peaks in COVID bruh
Right! People that don't give a damn
There are a lot of reasons COVID is peaking bruh. People getting outdoors and exercising is not the biggest culprit.
Bruh chill
Nick Symmonds bru my guy Nick be spitting facts
Nick Symmonds way to copy his demeanor with “bruh” 😂😂 but Kevin you’d think the people going out would only do so if there are clear of Covid.
Great video! I love watching your races! I wish I could travel out and compete since I love to run but unfortunately I live too far away.

If he sees this I’ll be happy
Seen!
Guess ur happy now 😄
I watched that Ben Crawford video of this race a couple days ago and I’ve got to admit nick made this race so much more hype
I wonder how many people possibly caught Coronavirus because of this.
