2026 ASICS Blue Jean Mile

Join us on Friday, May 22, at 6 PM for the ASICS Blue Jean Mile at Providence College's Ray Treacy Track - a one-of-a-kind event where speed meets style for a greater purpose. In 2020, ASICS elite athlete Johnny Gregorek laced up in his favorite pair of blue jeans and set the World Record for the fastest mile ever run in denim—all in an effort to raise awareness for mental health.

As a brand built on the ethos of “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body,” ASICS is committed to supporting mental health, and the Gansett Run Club is proud to partner with the National Alliance on Mental Illness – Rhode Island Chapter (NAMI-RI) for this event.
