Manchester Road Race 2023 Official Thread

Durgin and Hall deep in marathon prep. Won't be in for the win. Kelati hasn't been at her best. I'd go with Rodenfels for the women and Mantz for the men. That is despite the fact that Mantz is in marathon prep as well.

Only because the race refuses to include more than 1 East African in each field. Racist??

2 days out bump.

I believe the race broadcast will be streamable on mobile, Roku, or AppleTV via the Fox61+ app

Travis Martin? They're just letting anyone in these "elite" fields these days

Ah yes…the racist race that actually says ‘we only allow two Kenyans in our race.’
