Molly Grabill's 34:37 would have placed 5th in the Pro division. My guess is she won't get any money because she wasn't in the Pro race. Complete crap since she ran the entire race by herself.
Doesn’t work that way, she certainly would have run slower 4 hours later in much warmer conditions than she did. And you have to be invited to have a shot at pro prize money. There could be a legit argument that she deserved an invite as much as Thweatt or Spence did but that’s the pro race director’s call.
Just another casualty of the dippy team format for the pro race. Ditch it and there’s more space for the Colorado pros of any nationality, many of whom would have beat the slow GB and MX team runners.
They have the last 4 seconds of each finish on Facebook but not even going to bother to link it because you really want to see at least the last 4 minutes of each.
(Note to whomever does the BB social media pages you can fight the stupid WMG takedown through the youtube tools or just have youtube delete the audio entirely to republish it but really just tell WMG to go stuff themselves for something playing in the background by random chance.)
Or maybe just publish the last 10 minutes of each citizen and pro race?
Those were some great races and could be used to promote running but nope, corporate greed ruins everything every time.
(apparently WMG tried to blackmail youtube for a high payout to automate fees for videos with their audio even in background but google wouldn't pay so it's takedown or nothing at this point)
They appear to have a free live stream this year, hopefully from the press trailer featuring the elites.
Remember this is one of those odd races where the elites run AFTER the public later in the morning, starting 11am MDT which would be 1pm EDT in the afternoon (10am PDT)
Didn't Frank Shorter start or promote this race early on? Hopefully they at least interview him, I think he's been a commentator several years.
Frank started the race along with attorney Rich Castro. It was one of the first races to offer prize money above board. Both men were instrumental in forming a pro road race circuit with prize money for pro's called ARRA.
