What about the 12K and 15K and 10 mile road races. Should they all be there as well?

None of them have a Major Championship and those distances are rarely run by elites. The Half, in contrast, has at least one Major Championship and actually has many elites who train for and run the distance. The Olympics would just be icing on the cake for the distance. Why shouldn't it be added on to the Olympics?
