So this race in the past has been a fast one with many elites doing it like Meb (61/ 62), Bauhs and Bairu to name some males. This year it sounded like it would be another hot race with rumors Ryan Hall and Meb and Ryan Vail doing it, all using it to sharpen up for their full marathons (Chicago, NYC). But with the recent RnR development of the Elite funding, will these guys still run as many would of trained with this race in mind for marathon preparation and just take the hit on money front or risk changing their plans and find another competitive half marathons around the October time? Was there any other elites planning on running San Jose?
