I’d make it probably 80-100 meters if I’m lucky. Then I’d run a 10 minute mile.

Running today thinking about how physiologically interesting this question is...in all seriousness I will be using this question in my graduate exercise physiology class this spring. The class is centered on bioenergetics and training principles associated with distance running...Let's see how my grad students answer it!
3 laps for sure, if I'm aiming for even splits. On the fourth lap I'll either crash and burn or discover that my mile PR is soft.

And what else do you do like a jaguar? Maybe a Galapagos tortoise would be a more valid comparison.
I suspect I couldn’t run my 1 mile race pace for any distance right now, and certainly not without a warmup.
I'd make it probably 1400-1500

Once I got caught in a traffic jam and showed up for a 1500m race 1 minute before the start. I asked the starters to wait for me to put on my spikes, did 1 stride and off I went. I run within 1 second of my PR.
Another time I got late for a mile and my only warmup was running half a mile to get to the start line on time. I run my PR by 5 seconds.
Granted, perhaps I could have run even faster with a proper warm-up, but lack of a warmup did not seem to matter a great deal in these cases, I only remember feeling like crap for the first 400m.
Knowing you were late, anxious about missing the race ... probably caused increased adrenaline, accelerated heart rate, rise in body temperature. Fight or flight response. Similar physiologically to a warm-up.
To definitively answer OP's question would only take five minutes or so. Elevated risk of injury, but would be interesting to try the next time I'm on the track.

Funny. Although the prey doesn’t get to warm up either
I ran a 200m race once without warmup. I was toast after about 30m. Legs just stiffened up on me. I ran about 3 secs slower than I expected to
I did this in college on a dare and made it 5 laps (@ 2000m).
That's complicated, because I can't actually finish a mile at my mile pace.
What this means is, if I go out at a pace that should realistically be my maximum mile pace, I invariably lose interest after 400m when I realize what the last 1209m will be like. What seemed like a good idea at first is revealed to be the pointless self-torture I had forgotten about, so I stop.
But technically your race pace is how fast you actually go. So therefore whatever the actual fastest mile I've ran recently is wasn't near my maximum ability, other than being willing to do it, and I could go a lot farther, probably about 5k.
Before or after you pull a hamstring?
So LR is full of studs who make 200k, have supermodel wives, and can run within 5 or 10 seconds of their mile PR with no warmup?
How far do I make it at 1 mile race pace?
1 mile, duh. I’m gonna with a 6:00
Are we assuming ambush predators couldnt run even faster with a 15 minute dynamic warmup?

I'll run 100 meters just faster than targey pace, settle down to slightly slower than target time pace, then gradually bring it back up to faster than end pace. I'll finish within 5 seconds above/bellow target time.
