The Albie Thomas Mile was established in 2014 and named after the late Albie Thomas, who was a world record holder in the 2-miles and 3-miles in the 1950s and the first person to run a sub-four minute mile in NSW.
The meet has incorporated the Australian Mile Championships and is conducted by Bankstown Sports Athletics Club, with the assistance of Athletics NSW. The 2023/24 meet was originally scheduled to take place on 23 December 2023 but was rescheduled to 28 March 2024.
The race records are held by Jordan Gusman (3:57.29, 2017) and Keely Small (4:33.57, 2020)
