Alan Webb and Galen Rupp in Thanksgiving Day 5K!!! (Not a troll)

If you're not trolling, why doesn't the link work?

It does work....idiot

Link works, it looks legit??

I hope they race full out and don't let some E. African run away with it, claiming that they are not "sharp" yet. Time to bring balls back to US distance running.

Cracks me up how Webb gets such secondary treatment in that article.

i always forget that Webb has run a 13:10 for 5k

If they don't break 13:30 it is time to retire.

they had this a few years back:

This 5k makes me chuckle thinking of the sniping that goes on around here about training to win your local turkey trot.

While those sub-14 guys don't peak for this race, they really do train to win a local turkey trot.

Hope they give turkeys in addition to the money.

Wonder if he's hopping on a flight to DC after the race?

We have already fallen for this Webb trick before. Let me be perfectly clear: WEBB IS NOT RUNNING THE TURKEY TROT

It is a publicity stunt to get people to show up.

Manchester RR in manchester, CT is a pretty darn competitive "turkey trot"

It's so long ago he has as well

I like how they tell how fast a pace is by miles per hour.

Josphat Boit for the MF Win!

Betting Chris Calkins tries to take the lead at the gun then bursts into flames at the 2000m mark.

Too much "training" with justindopedtothegillsb will catch up with him....again.

It says "For Rupp, 24, the only athlete to win all five NCAA distance running titles in a single season, the race will mark his road running debut."

What are the 5 titles? Cross, 5k, 10k outdoor. Are there 2 indoor, or does it count cross team?
