Millrose Games canceled due to pandemic

The Millrose Games, the top annual international track and field meet, which is held every February in New York City, has been canceled.

“Given the health situation in New York and across the country, the prudent thing to do is to abstain this coming year,” according to a press release.

The Millrose Games was first held in 1908 and was due for its 114th edition in 2021.

It was one of the last top track meets held last year before the coronavirus pandemic caused postponements and cancellations.

The annual world tour of indoor meets starts Jan.
