Start the Drum Beat for Sound Running's The TEN (3/4)

Tirunesh Dibaba now entered . . .

Mo Ahmed & Sean McGorty now added . . . but appears Grant F won't be racing:

Great field. Excited to see what Henes will do here.

Just ordered tickets. First ever pro track meet I will ever go to! So stoked

Guess you're right . . . flawed Google search.

Makes one wonder . . . will Cooper and Grant be the rabbits? . . . Cooper thru 5k, Grant thru 8k? . . . basically, playing the role McGorty played two years ago and Woody played last year. . .

What a wild field. Will we see Huddle’s AR fall?

i don’t even have an estimate for the fastest american time in the field for women. for men i will guess 26:45

Yes . . . definitely can see Alicia & Elise (& Dibaba?) targeting 30-flat . . . with Karissa Schweizer their personal rabbit, towing them thru 5k @ 15:05 - 15:10 then maintaining thru 8k before dropping off . . . letting the pacing lights take them home . . .

GASP! I was gonna go anyway but now I feel like I need to get in shape.

When The TEN started in 2021 it was essentially a BTC intrasquad meet.

Last year it gained national exposure.

Now, it looks like it's gone worldwide.

40y old Dibaba for the win

Tirunesh Dibaba just ran 1:11 in The Houston Half Marathon for 16th Place, She is not in shape to compete for the win at least not yet

If you recently saw Cranny at Millrose, you’ll have reservations regarding her ability to run near 30:00 at this point in the season. She just did not seem up to her normal level of the last 2 years.

Further, there will likely be no BTC men represented.

Excited to see what Natosha Rogers can run after her recent 14:52 5K.

Does anyone know where this event is being hosted? I'd like to go.

J Serra High School in San Juan Capistrano.

Feels like targeting 27 min pace and may the best kick (or last 1600) win is the move. Woody, Klecker and Grijalva can all probably get to 26:50 with a strong close and guys like Atkin, McGorty, Mantz, Kiptoo, Flanagan and Bor should be able to hold on on their best days, even if they can’t hang with the kicks of the others.

What are you talking about? There are ALREADY Bowerman men in the 10k.

Don't stop at just one meet. Tickets for the half dozen pro meets in the Los Angeles area have always been dirt cheap. You can go to them ALL for less than $100 total.
