ABOUT THE MASON MILE
George Mason men's basketball head coach Tony Skinn ('06) created the Mason Mile in 2023 as a way to unite the campus and greater DMV community around the start of college basketball season. What began as a student event on the George Mason Stadium track has grown to a community-wide event that features the Fairfax campus and gives fans of all ages a chance to exercise and support a number of community and national causes with the team.
