When I talked to Hobbs at 5th Ave he was all-in on doing Worlds XC. It is a lot of traveling but doing both isn’t that insane I’d think. But it’s a little different for the 10K…it’s possible Nico’s tentatively entered but will scratch if he makes the team.
Hard for me to picture Hobbs being a factor at 10k but who knows.
You don’t see a guy who runs professionally all over the world running two races a week apart in the same country?
He races in Portland, stays until Monday and flys to Honolulu on Monday and he’s running all week long in Hawaii and races a Mile that weekend on the road for fun. It’s not that hard to accept

That's what I thought- it's a paid vacation with a little work involved.

Except we don't know that he's racing in Portland.

The 2026 World Athletics Cross Country Championships is an athletics meeting organized by World Athletics, set to be held on January 10, 2026 at the Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida, United States.
The Kenyan middle- and long-distance elite turn their sights to the notorious trails of Eldoret Sports Club this week as the annual Athletics Kenya National Cross Country Championships ramps up on 24–25 October 2025. With national titles and coveted spots on Team Kenya for international cross-country duty on the line, the pressure and competition promise to be fierce.
Maybe he's running X Country with the goal of making the team and racing in Hawaii Mile for appearance fee or maybe speed work. It's JUST A MILE and the hardest part would be the traveling to and from Hawaii.
