The Midnight Mile made its triumphant return in 2018 after debuting as college basketball's original "Midnight Madness" in 1971 under Hall of Fame men's basketball coach Lefty Driesell.
 
Last year's edition of the Midnight Mile saw more than 500 students join the men's basketball team in a mile run around Kehoe Track as the clock struck midnight to commence the start of the 2018-19 season.

The event is open to all fans to watch, while Maryland students are eligible to run upon presentation of student ID at registration. Registered students will receive a commemorative Midnight Mile race bib, Midnight Mile t-shirt (first 500), pizza and multiple photo opportunities with the basketball team. Students will also have a chance to enter-to-win a raffle to join the men's team for an away trip this season. 
 
Gates will open at 11:15 p.m. on Wed., Oct. 9 at the Kehoe Track & Field Complex.
