MANCHESTER ROAD RACE RUPP vs CHELIMO vs TRUE vs KORRIR, EDNA KIPLAGAT vs SISSON vs HASAY vs McCOLGAN vs CAIN

Pushing someone in a buggy does not count as being in the wheelchair race!

No he finished actually.

I was out walking the dog. DId anyone watch the race live on the local fox station? Did they show the leaders?

They showed the leaders of the men's race pretty much the entire race.

LOL, read the last 2 pages....

Maybe True can get a haircut with his prize money.

Wow, what a nice little treat that race was for Thanksgiving. Awesome race to watch. Pretty good coverage too. True is a great talent -- is he still training on his own, or did he finally get a coach? It just wasn't Rupp's day. Just goes to show you can't take a deep breath and relax in this sport at any point, because there are always guys who will be sharp.

Oh no, I just saw the Ben True interview where he joked about eating a lot of turkey. That literally just ruined all good feelings I had about the entire morning.

The guy in the orange jacket looked like the hippy version of Brett Mussburger.

One of my roommates in college always talked about Manchester and it is the most historic road race. I wasn't aware of one of its traditions. True in the post-race interview mentioned "All the people on their porches drinking beer"

Great field and great race in the 80th running.

That was FANTASTIC coverage!!!!

Showed the whole race.

No commercials.

Announcers weren't trying to make a lot of ridiculous analysis.

The "expert" was very knowledgeable and let the race be the star.

Both "newspeople" were much more knowledgeable than most.

Major networks should note THIS is how we want to watch a race.

^Best commentary of 2016. @NBC @Flotrack take note.

Not cool for these guys to take a turkey trot so seriously

I wish they had put a motorcycle on the lead women, because they showed very little of their race.

But you're right about coverage of the men's race. It was excellent.

I saw Rupp finish at about 21:55

What happened to Cain?! I passed her around 2.5 miles and she was crying on the side of the road and saying sorry to a young kid.
