I'm going with the miner
It will be a DNF tie.
The miner will surely win. He ran more miles trapped underground in 2 months than Jared ran since the New Year.
I seriously doubt the miner is going 26.2. He'll be town but he'll probably just do that run from the UN or something.
I doubt either of them will win.
yeah theres no way the miner is finishing
"up to 6 miles a day" in a mine does not prepare you for 26.2

That miner is Jared's bitch. Jared will finish. The miner won't. He was broken by that mine.
I gotta go with Jared, too. After all he ran *_500_* miles this year, and he knows how to fuel up for a race.
Wonder if Jared has some big incentive clauses to finish the race? Maybe like $100K of Subway cash?
Jared. He lost over 245 pounds, he's capable of anything. How can we compete?

That begs the question, what's more difficult, being trapped in a mine for 2 months not knowing whether or not you're going to survive, or losing 245lbs, and does either really give any indication of the ability to run a marathon lol
jared vs. edison, it's like rupp vs. solinsky, gotta go with the blue collar guy
I also wonder if Jared revenue from the NY Marathon, whole package including race related Subway commercials, will earn him more than the actual winner?
Jared beats the miner. He has the backing of the African contingent and learned to speak Swahili in preperation for running with the leaders. Rumor has it he starts the race blasting from starting blocks. How can the Chilean compete with that?
who cares about who is in better shape - walking corporate tagline vs. someone who ran daily WHILE TRAPPED IN A MINE? you've got to be rooting for the miner. we've heard it from the pros time and again: what really matters is BALLS, and the miner has that covered.
Jared: 4:35:36.66 (Mayeroff, you owe me a case if it goes down again like Solinsky's 5k time)
Miner: 3:57:24.11
The miner is running the whole thing by headlamp in the sewer system below the course. This eliminates wind resistance and hills and he will pop up at the finish just ahead of Ritz and Meb. They will make a tribute baloon in Macy's parade for our little amigo.
The serious runners altitude train before marathons. The miner went pretty much the exact opposite route, Jared for the win.
Miner - by a landslide.

Very clever. My late, lame attempt:
Chilean miner for the gold! (or the rubble)
