This should be good race, but then again, that depends on who is showing up. Does anyone know any pros or rising stars who plan to race?

Ok, thanks.
I also heard Lindsey Scherf will be running as well. I hope this is a good race!
Love it. A sunday elite XC race with Oympians and WC team members. Don't forget to invite the myth cultists.
Is the time wrong for Alissa McKaig? 15:00 and from NAIA?? You would think we would have heard a LOT more about her because that's faster than the NCAA record. Did they mean 16:00?
I call it right now. Sunday, (Blood)y Sunday! Go Nicole!!!!
Anyone know where results can be found?

2k x 4 = 8k. I buy it.

The course is actually a little long, and it's a new one. Are you sure you're not thinking of another Golden Gate Park course?
