In a rare gathering of three of America's leading male long-distance runners of the past decade, Meb Keflezighi, Ryan Hall, and Abdi Abdirahman will run the NYC Half-Marathon on Sunday, March 20, it was announced today by New York Road Runners president and CEO Mary Wittenberg.
The last time this powerhouse trio of Olympians and national title-holders all ran in the same race was also in New York, at the ING New York City Marathon 2009, which was won by Keflezighi in historic and dramatic fashion with Hall fourth and Abdirahman ninth.
The NYC Half-Marathon, which has a $100,000 prize purse (the largest for any United States half-marathon), will have a strong USA presence, with the previously announced Olympian and World Championships bronze medalist Kara Goucher running as part of her comeback after the birth of her first child.
