Was wondering that too. NYRR says they are not live streaming the pro races. Sort of implies someone is covering it. But no idea who - absolutely no info on the race site. Or if there is, they've hidden it very well.
Why is it often difficult to find out how to watch pro races/meets? There should be obvious links to TV/Live coverage on official websites.

If an event is on live, we normally have a tv/streaming link to that on the homepage. So check the HP.
5th avenue will not be streamed live. Get your butt out in the city and watch it.
After the fact there normally is a video of the race. In the meantime, people can post results below.
No can do - like many others, I'm extremely busy with many other responsibilities. I go when I'm able - went to Millrose Games and Diamond League NY. Both awesome - brought the kids - they loved it. Track and Field should make it easy for their fans to watch events - crazy that this terrific event is not being shown live.

How does this help the vast majority of the world that does not live in NYC but wants to watch???
Ok, let me see if I can get a flight out of Jackson, MS real quick!
Any local stations streaming the race?

Unfortunately the 5th Ave Mile isn't [or at least hasn't been] very spectator friendly. No live video [or even audio] near the finish line so if you're there live, all you can do as is watch the clock, wait for the runners to appear and try to see who won.
This race has so much potential but it's been decades since NYRR did much about exploiting that potential. See
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lAnHs6eTYgUfor a video of the 1981 race [broadcast on network TV]. I believe this was the first one and that Maree's winning time remains the event record.
are the BrosJo at the event/ live updates?
Any info yet
Jordan macnamara wins it over Garrett Heath. Times unknown
People. Sorry for angering so many of you by saying, "get your butt in the streets." We were just making a joke.
Jordan McNamara is your champ.

We wonder how much the NYRR pays her as she could get 30k at Continental Cup.
Are the/will the results published somewhere on the world wide web?
