2009 ING New York City Marathon Picks

October 30, 2009

 

You can Read out LetsRun.com Men's Preview Here and Women's Preview Here.

In our previews, LetsRun.com's Rojo  guaranteed his one of his men's top 3 would win the NYC Marathon. So we decided to give away $50 to the person who picks the men's and women's winner the closest.

The one thing this showed us is your picks here are much different from your ones on the homepage where the American home sentiment is causing way more people to pick Ryan Hall.

And our male dominated audience is predicting a course record run on the men's side.

Editor's note: Rojo is too cheap. We've decided to give $50 to the person who picks the winner of the men's race and comes closest to the winning time, even if the winner is one of Rojo's top 3. And we'll do $50 for the person who picks the winner of the women's race and comes closest to her winning time. All you need to do is give us the winner of the race and the predicted winning time. The person who comes closest wins. If there is a tie, we'll randomly pick the winner.
