Looking for awesome FEMALE track races to inspire my runners... Help!

I hate to be the one that breaks it to you but track is not profitable. You should inspire them to do something that yields profit and doesnt waste their time.

Erm ever heard of Tirunesh?

The 10k from Rio last year was easily my favorite part of the Olympics--quite inspiring.

Start at about 3:00

"From the depths of hell.."

Don't train them to sit and kick.

The world needs more pedal-to-the-metal front runners like Laura Muir ...

Tell them to be brave, committed and give 100% like Laura!

Or this. Be careful - the winner isn't who you think it is

(but the second place finisher has gone on to a great career at Michigan, and will be at NCAA nationals this year).

Start at about 14:00.

To be clear. Wesley Frazier won that race, not Erin Finn.

I can find 'Top 5 best kicks of all time' videos up the wazoo, but they're all male races - great for me, but not so great for my female runners.

Can y'all think of any races I should use?

This is one of my favorites...
