Official 50th Peachtree Road Race Thread

LetsRun.com · 2019-07-01T14:03:18-04:00

[i]We're turning this into the official thread. Women's race starts at 6:50 am eastern Men at 7 am. Race is live on NBC Sports Gold (Pay per view) and will be shown on cable TV on tape delay at 7 pm Thursday (12 hours later). $50,000 for course records (27:04 & 30:32) [/i] Peachtree is going all-out for their 50th anniversary. 3 of the 6 fastest women of all-time in Brigid Kosgei (29:54), Fancy Chemutai (30:06) and Caroline Chepkoech Kipkirui (30:19), will chase a $50,000 bonus for breaking the 30:32 course record. Plus Emily Sisson, two-time world marathon champ Edna Kiplagat, Tokyo Marathon champ Ruti Aga, and world 10,000 bronze medalist Agnes Tirop. The men's course record (which is the fastest time ever ran on US soil, but not the official record as it's net downhill) also has a good shot to go down with the #2 all-time Rhonex Kipruto (26:46) leading Stephen Sambu (27:25), 2016 winner Gabriel Geay his brother, Africa U20 champ Bravin Kiptoo, plus Americans Tyler Pennel and Abdi Abdirahman. There will be rabbits going out on CR pace (4:17 for the men, 4:55 for the women) so they're definitely shooting for the records. LetsRun will have boots on the ground as Peachtree is flying out Steve Soprano to cover the race.

Okay, I’ve read up on him. Looks like he’s won in the U20 class, which I only pay passing attention to. Apart from that, he’s really done nothing on the senior circuit.
Kosgei looks like she’s had more success, but looks to be exclusively a marathon runner. I tend to pay more attention to track runners. On the marathon side, there just seems to be a parade of anonymous African runners who cycle in and out of the winners circle. With one or two more major victories I probably would have started to take note

You can try to qualify the statement all you want, but you're not a fan of distance running if you don't know who Rhonex Kipruto is. Period.

Then you're not nearly as big of a fan as you believe. Educate yourself, there's this thing called the Internet---and you're on it now.

Um Kipketer's was the only one on that list that met the criteria asked.

Sorry, didn't see you said US at first. The IAAF list only shows the top 5 US men of all time.

Doped up "teenager" chasing road records to avoid the testers.

re: Ruman

An interesting line can be drawn thru results from the RAK half eighteen months ago by some of the runners here. The photo of Fancy winning that day still draws oohs and aahs of either drugs or ‘looking like a man’. She was only a second off the world record that day and burned keitany and Kipkirui off in the second half. Kosgei 7th and Tola 9th but Kosgei has hardly been beaten since.

The lead four that day went thru 10k in 30.34.

re: Aussiestatman

Can you stop wasting ink on mentioning Abdi in your preview?

He’ll be good for 30:50 tomorrow. I guess he’s mentioned only because the American top guys are scared to show up and run.

No one talks about the Black Cactus like that. He'll go 28:xx tomorrow.
