The ASICS Blue Jean Mile is Back!

We're partnering once again with ASICS and 1N5 to bring you the Blue Jean Mile on Friday, May 1, 2026, raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. 

Started by professional middle-distance runner, Johnny Gregorek, in 2020 to honor his late brother, Patrick, the ASICS Blue Jean Mile has evolved into a global initiative for mental health awareness. Read more here.

To participate, register for the 2026 Fifty West Mile and select "Yes" to participating in the Blue Jean Mile on your form. If you are already registered, please email registration@flyingpigmarathon.com to update your registration. On race day, simply wear a pair of jeans and make your way to the Blue Jean corral! 

To commemorate this year’s Blue Jean Mile, ASICS and Pig Works will make a joint donation to 1N5.
