The Metric Mile is a board game published in 1986 by Lambourne Games. It is a game in which players recreate races between some of the greatest racers, using its board and components to stage a contest rather than a plain roll-and-move race. Ellis Simpson reviewed it for Games International magazine (issue 4, April 1989), awarding it four stars out of five and writing that it 'is a gem of a game' that 'provides honest to goodness fun without pages of rules,' adding that 'the atmosphere and the flavour of the real event is beautifully captured in cardboard form.' It is catalogued among board games introduced in 1986. Its exact player count and specific racing subject matter are not given in the source article and remain outstanding for a later research pass.
