Ryan Hall To Race Rock ‘N’ Roll Mardi Gras Half In Preperation For Boston

American distance running star Ryan Hall will race at the 2010 Rock ‘n’ Roll Mardi Gras Half Marathon, in New Orleans, La. as a tune-up for the 2010 Boston Marathon. Hall, a 2008 Olympian in the marathon, will also run in the P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Half Marathon in January.

A member of the elite Mammoth Lakes Track Club, based in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., Hall is the current American record holder over the 13.1 distance, with his 59:43 effort at the 2007 Houston Half Marathon. Hall will certainly look to lower that mark on Feb 28th at the inaugural running of the New Orleans race.

Hall will also race the P.F Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Half Marathon in January.
