True, Rupp's look may not be the most marketable, his races are and probably pulls more quite a bit these days. My guess, over 500 K , maybe more .
That's cute.
Rupp guaranteed makes WAY more than $500k. Don't be fooled by his modest $600,000 house.

Galen Rupp is inspiring a generation of distance runners. Just spend some time at a high school meet anywhere in this country and he is the one name that comes up over and over again when doing focus groups.
And this does what exactly for Nike?
they buy nike stuff.... you guys are living in your moms basements wayyyyyy to much, please get out...

I like Galen and respect the hell out of his running but let's face it......they don't get much dorkier than Rupp. He actually sounds as nerdy as he looks. Solinsky on the other hand......I agree. More of a kick ass warrior like personality.
The comment above is years old and while I don't disagree with the comment above regarding Chris Solinsky and respect him a great deal, I have to laugh thinking he let somebody (Imane Merga?) push him off the track and into a flowerpot on the infield.

lmao, I hope that was a dq at least, he did it like 3 times
I've been led to believe he subsides his running income with his lanky rent boy business. Two dollars for a sweaty crack rimjob.
Don't forget that running is an international sport and the runners at his level are world famous not just American famous.
That's right. Rupp has appeared on the cover of "Mzungu Running Times" several times.
Nike had revenue of $30B last year, pretty sure they can pay one of their top runners $1m.
