"On his way to the finish line in Houston in an eye-popping 59:43, Hall passed the 15-K mark of the race (unofficially) in 42:21, one second faster than Todd Williams's record set in Jacksonville. If Hall can win in Jacksonville and break Williams's record, he would be eligible for an additional $8,000 in bonuses."
I know that people can set records for a shorter distance while running a longer one, like setting the 1500 record while running a mile. So, is there any way that they will make Hall's record breaking run at 15k during the half marathon official, would they have had to been ready to measure it on the day of?
I'm not sure about the rules here, just thought I'd ask.
