The Thorndon Mile (formally WRC George Adams Handicap) is a Group Two (G2) Thoroughbred horse race contested at Trentham Racecourse by the Wellington Racing Club.

The race used to be run on Wellington Cup day, traditionally the last Saturday of January. However it has been moved to earlier in January, on the same day as the Trentham Stakes.

This race was known as the WRC George Adams Handicap until 1983. It was also known as the Jarden Mile or Jarden Morgan Mile while sponsored by that organisation over the 1984-1991 period. Other sponsors have included Hutt Valley Cartage and Harcourts real estate.
