Yared Nuguse bounced back at the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile 2025 to win the 1-mile event, following his recent disappointment at the USA National Championships as well as the Zurich Diamond League finals. Nuguse finished seventh in the 1500m in Zurich and missed out on a spot at the World Championships this month after finishing fifth there.

This marked his first ever time competing in the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile, and he had previously expressed how excited he was to do so (15:38 onwards):

"I think I’ve always seen Fifth Avenue Mile and always kind of liked the idea of coming out and doing it, but you know, it never really worked out with my last two seasons. So, you know, glad it worked."

Nuguse's season ended with the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile, closing out his campaign with an impressive performance.
