NYC Marathon men's field is stacked

Amazing, isn't it? You'd think that the NYC Marathon was, like, a big deal or something. How in the heck does a race in a town like that manage to assemble that kind of talent? They must have a decent budget or something.

It is a great field...can't wait to see the outcome. Forget the Troll above and his wise-ass comments. Some people have nothing better to do than crack smartass comments.

then why havent they had the best field of any race every year?

this is a heck of a field and could go any number of ways

Add Matthew Kisorio to the list

Bobby Curtis

Shadrack Biwott

I know LRC will do a preview, but they hate Americans who aren't Ryan Hall and they won't cover them, so who are the top Americans entered?

In their defense, no distance-running American males besides Ryan Hall really do anything worth noting at this point

If everyone stays healthy and starts the race, it will be one of the best fields New York has ever put together.

Not only that. It will be the fastest NYC Marathon ever. Those Mutais know they have to run wicked fast for NYC (like 2:06ish) to make the London 2012 team. They'll put it all on the line.

Agreed. I wish this site would weed out the whack jobs so it could at least be semi-normal and most posts would be worthwhile to read.

Thank You.
