2014 IAAF World Half Marathon Results
March 28, 2014
Anyone know the details? How many people go for team USA? Has USATF said how they are picking it? I'm assuming Houston's race decided it.
Anyone know who is going and who isn't? Men and women?
It should be stellar.
Maybe we'll go cover it as I've always wanted to go to Copenhagen.
Mentioned on webcast yesterday that top 3 will be offered spot. Likely Meb & Braun will decline with spring marathons.
A little effort and you can find out lots of information
Finding this took a total of 4 clicks
Team Size: 5 per gender
