It has to be all running, no walking.

I once ran up a steep trail to a lookout in a park in Colorado which must have taken 10-15 minutes and was definitely less than a mile. I might has well have walked though.
I think once you get up to 14-16 minutes/mile you're better off walking anyways. That's why ultra runners will walk steep uphills. If you're not even going
7:00.00000000
Any slower and it would be jogging.

9 min milee prolly...i was running on concrete and my legs began feeling like 50lb dumbbells...i think i pretty much walkjogged it most of the way
I've run some crazy uphills that I'm sure were slower but I ran 10+ for the last mile after bonking hard at the end of the marathon.
4:57, first shot at a mile. lots of soccer before hand. I thought the next step would be 4 minutes... boy was i wrong/naive.
14:47. It was a hilly course that I ran in third grade.
I believe the record for fastest time up the Manitou Incline in Colorado is around 17 minutes. It's slightly under 1 mile in length.
When I first moved to Utah back in my younger days, I met a marathoner. We were out running together for the first time and he says, "we are coming to a section of trail that is uphill for about a mile and will probably take us about 20 minutes to do." I was like, "yeah, right...I ran in college buddy and I'm pretty BA".
At the bottom of the hill, I take off all out. 18 minutes later, I was on the top of the hill, completely wiped. I don't know if it was a mile, but it was really hard
Crimson Trail, Logan Canyon, Utah. 1000' elevation gain.
When I was in 7th grade I was obese and ran something like 13min for the mile. I never got into track or XC in HS, but I did run a 2:48 marathon earlier this year. What is that, 6:28 miles or something like that?
11:45, when my daughter was in kindergarten and her class ran the mile - the parents ran with them to motivate them.
Slowest mile in a real race? Probably 5:38 freshman year of high school, first indoor race ever.

The elevation sounds right. About 20%
I ran a marathon in WV that has a hill from miles 24-25 that's about 9-10% incline. I was just under 10 minutes going up. Once at the top, we went into the park and straight downhill for a mile which I did in 6:47.
I ran a 16 mile trail race in Kentucky that has a mile hill at 12% grade from miles 12.5-13-5. It's asphalt going up the backside into a state park. I was probably a little over 10 minutes. Again going downhill I ran the last mile in the 6:40s.
Running hills all out like that in a race are extremely tough especially if you have to walk a couple times. You feel like quitting just to make the pain go away but you know you can't.

16:42 afaik by Mark Fretta... not sure it would count though as even at those speeds their is lots of walking especially on the main steep section preceeding the false summit.
Though he is banned for doping, so fastest clean time might be the 18 something by Matt Carpenter
Probably 10:00 with my dad. He is basically Forrest Gump.
