Rupp hasn't raced since winning the Olympic Marathon Trials in February.
But today, the Eugene Marathon tweeted this:

Gotta figure that the American record is in play. In fact, if Rupp has been building his fall training around this and targeting this race specifically, I would expect it to fall. As a reminder, the AR is 59:43 by Ryan Hall from 2007.

Too bad today's Half didn't garner any attention.
-
And you know besides those two, Alberto will line up 5-6 top notch Kenyan pacers (oh wait).

Half marathon featuring just the two athletes coming soon according to Eugene Marathon IG.
Is Hall’s record on borrowed time? -
Wow this actually sounds pretty exciting. I hope they’ll have pacing of some sorts, but these are two great marathons throwing it down!
Rupp has run 59:47 and 2:06:07
Osaka with 1:01:13 and 2:05:29
Pretty close all things considered. -

Depends on how fast courses and weather conditions that was

What are the pollen counts out there now? Masked Galen or unmasked Galen?

Anyone know what this course is like?

Should it? It was won by a triathlete in 62:xx. That’s almost halfway pace for the majority of major marathons. -
Nevermind here is more info. Says location is undisclosed but the course will be flat.

Your man, Rupp, has moved on from AS in a very mature fashion. Perhaps you should as well? -
Will there be a webcast? Maybe a guy following along on a bike showing it on Facebook?

Makes me think it'll be loops somewhere, so it can be free of traffic/intersections, etc. -
Pretty exciting if you ask me. Glad to see Rupp chase times on the road.
