The winner will be Blake Benke. Blake is a Marine that finished 9th overall last year, and he was the first Marine. Last year he wasn't even running for the Marine Corps team that challenges the Brits every year, but this year he is on the team.
You heard it here first.
A decent Washington Post article talks about some of the competition:

The article mentions an Ethiopian, Retta Feyissa, and John Sence (where the heck has he been?) The article doesn't mention Blake.
Looks like decent weather for the race tomorrow, darn near ideal. Might be a good race.
