Predicting a course record for Kelati
At least we have Ian Brooks back in the booth, tho he is more of an indoor track guy (voice of the Garden/Armory/Ocean Breeze/Millrose...). The other two are just local yokels. 5 minutes until the start. They've already taken a plethora of commercial breaks. Hoping that is intentional so as not to interrupt a 20 minute race.

I'm glad they're down registrants after their ridiculous vaccine rule
A ton of races are requiring vaccines now, I think it's time for you to accept that.
If your beef is specifically that the elite field has to have vaccine proof where the normal field doesn't: This is a race where 85% or more of the participants are from the local area, where vaccination rates are high and case spread is low when compared to the rest of the country. It makes perfect sense to apply different rules to the elite field where 95% are coming from other states or countries.
lol it's not 'time' to accept anything just because your condescending @ss says so. It's a 'vaccine' that doesn't prevent transmission so there's no ethical justification for requiring it. As far as 'tons of races', no. Most races do not have that requirement and there's no need to do one that does. There are thousands of races in this country.
As to your claim that it makes 'perfect sense' to apply different rules to 20 people vs the thousands who will run the race from all over the country, your definition of 'perfect sense' is different than mine because that makes absolutely zero sense. Do you realize how absolutely insignificant 20 people are vs many thousands? Even if as you say 85% of participants are local the 15% that are not outnumber elite entrants by 100 to 1.
Drew going aerodynamic!! Who gets King of the Hill? No Centro so its up for grabs.
Kelati with the lead pack of men at 1/2 mile!!
The local TV missed the start and didn't show any elites before the start.
Flanagan going way early. Good on him!
Brooks is saying that is Korir in second. Is it not Chelanga?
Nice Ari cameo
Ben F is crushing this field. Wow. When is this guy going to run a marathon?

Yes, for the whole race they've been calling Chelanga (who edged out Flanagan for King of the Hill), Korir.
It was Chelanga. Painful to listen to
Wow, Ben F looks great.
Two-time Falmouth RR winner?
Why are his track pr's so mediocre? This guy looks amazing
Does it look like Ari Klau is pacing Kelati?

Good call. Does it easily!!!
....and with Kiplagat & D'Amato having great runs also!
Under Armour shoes are legit. Kelati unreal performance. Dang.
Kelati finished about 1 minute and a half behind the first place male. That is incredible.
They’re definitely in the carbon fiber game now.
