Killian would smoke them all.
Serena would finish dead last by about 2.5 minutes.
The bloke who ran 4.10 in training
Mary Cain is probably the only one who would actually be brave enough to race a track mile. We know that Killian never will. LeBron might do it for fun. Serena wouldn't race most likely, but she could jog in around 8 minutes. Phelps might try, he's about a six minute miler. Usain is way too lazy and shiftless to do it.
Usain also got crazy fat since retirement.
It would be interesting to see who would get last; Usain or Serena.
Killian would definitely get last because there is no way he is ever, ever going to get into a track or road race. He's a certain scratch. I think Serena would beat Bolt.
1he's not 'crazy fat' at all
Anyone think that Bolt could beat Phelps?
That's truly a bizarre list of people for your dream mile. I don't know about the others, but Serena couldn't have a worse body for distance running and Phelps has an extremely long torso. And why in include Cain in this freak show of a mile?
Based on some research, you might have been smoking some Sour Diesel?
if phelps is really a 6 minute guy then that's not so unattainable even for a sprinter, if he were to train. but I saw that kim collins mile challenge and he said he walked quite a bit and finished in 8'

They would finish in this order:
Jornet, Cain, Lebron, Phelps, Bolt, Serena

Yes he is!!!
Look at this video, he legit has a beer belly now:
https://twitter.com/nzaccardi/status/1208367771777671169?lang=enyeah, not 'crazy fat'. if he worked out he'd lose it pretty quick
Here’s what I predict
Killian 4:28
Cain 4:54
Phelps 4:58
Bolt 5:47
Lebron 5:59
I don’t know who Serena is and am not willing to research her for a very subjective mile prediction
Except he's not going to lose it. He just had a kid, and he has no motivation to lose it.
OP's post presumably is about who would win the race right now without any extra training.
And that is pretty fat compared to what he used to look like!!
Why would anyone even put Serena into consideration for this? Is there anything at all about her that suggests she'd be a decent miler?

Serena is in there because she is tops in her sport, and even though she has a freak-show physique, her matches last at least an hour. LeBron does a fair amount of running in a game and practice, so should at least be able to jog a mile.
My guess for finish is:
Mary Cain - 4:40
Phelps - 5:50
LeBron - 6:45
Serena - 8:00
Bolt - 8:10
Killian - DNS. (If he had the courage to race, he gets smoked by Cain in the last 100m and does 4:45)
Also, this list was largely put together as it is because posters on LR are constantly speculating on how fast such-and-such non-runner could run a 400/mile/5k/marathon. On my list, Mary Cain is the only one who we know for sure would run a track or road race, and Phelps or LeBron might do one for charity or kicks. Of course, Bolt sprints but would never go a mile and Killian runs a ton of races, but will never put his reputation on the line and do a timed effort - he either wants to remain a mystery or is afraid to prove how deluded all those who say he easily a sub4 miler or 2:02 marathoner.
Killian would win with Mary second and then a pretty wide gap to the rest.
I think Killian is likely the most rounded athlete on the planet. His combination of speed, endurance, agility, and range if sports is hard to match. There are people better and most of the individual attributes (maybe not endurance) but is aggregate I'd be interested to hear who is more rounded.
I don't get the Killian bashing. Dude is super nice and does a lot of cool social media short videos with Solomon.
