It is way faster and deeper than most local 5k's. When first place gets you a gift card equal to your entry fee, do you really expect faster people to show up?
The 2nd place wouldn't even get in top 40 at some local uk races.

Nike has had a lot of events this weekend - such as allowing people to meet Rupp, having Schweizer as a speaker, etc. I bet they paid him to come out and run this and he just did it to cash in a few $$ and wasn't worried about racing.

Please dont pretend that money is the only motivation for runners faster than that.

Dude who cares I live in a garbage city for running and I've seen random 300 person races have a few sub 15s and huge races with 10x more participants and they don't even break 18, it just depends on who shows up. If you're just trying to give americans crap or something congrats you failed
