While Boulder gets buried under another foot of powder this weekend, our athletes will be out competing in five events around the world.
Reigning IAAF marathon world champ Edna Kiplagat (Nike) will compete for the first time since her gold-medal run in Daegu, racing the JCL Montferland Run 15K in the Netherlands.
From the new training group organized by Edna and her husband Gilbert Koech, Jonathan Cheruiyot will take on the hot and humid conditions of the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore.
James Mwangi Macharia (NTN), 3rd at the Philadelphia Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon in September, will be looking for a big improvement on his 2:10:06 marathon PB in tomorrow’s Fukuoka International Marathon.
Nuta Olaru (ASICS) will race the California International Marathon in Sacramento tomorrow.
And out in Vegas, Meghan Peyton (Team USA Minnesota) and Kenyon Neuman (Team Alchemy) will run the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Half-Marathon Sunday evening as their last big tests five weeks out from their participation in next month’s U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.
