So some pretty good money has been on the line for several years now and the Africans haven't attempted to come in and take it? Interesting.
I was just thinking the same thing. We could find a couple of fst ones train them, manage them and split the winnings next year !
i guess they probably understand that racing 50 miles isn't as easy as all the experts on letsrun think it is. there is still far easier money to be made on the roads.

Manage? C'mon all you boys could just train yourselves ... all you would have to do is walk and jog the whole way ... not problem.

Did y'all see that 26:30 man Abebe Dinkesa ran a 50 miler in Nigeria and won $10,000?

I couldn't find anything with Dinkesa and a 50 mile run. Do you mean this?
