      • Editor's note: We've changed this into the official thread. It was initially titled, "Official 2017 Doha Half Marathon Elite Fields- this weekend- Mo Farah on the men's side, Allie Kieffer first race since NYC"

        This one is flying under the radar with all of the attention rightfully on Houston. Mo will win easily. Interested to see what Abdi and Vail do. Gemma Steel leads the women's side but interested to see if Allie Kieffer can challenge. Emma Bates should knock off some time on her pb as well.

      • Why do they call it the Doha Marathon in all official verbiage when it's a half? Doesn't even seem like they're putting on a full marathon.
    • Seriously mate?

        I think this is one of those half marathon marathons. Kind of like the 5k marathon I ran last weekend.

        FFS! It would have taken you about two clicks to find out that there is also a Marathon. But instead you post crap on here.

      • This will probably come down to Farah and Meucci with Farah putting on his ridiculous face on in the last 200 and pulling away for the win in 1 hr flat.

        Watered down field as per usual with Mo. his reign is over, however. He'll be lucky to dip under 1:02.

        I think this is sort of right- not a super high quality field. 1:01 should probably do it. He'll be challenged at the London Big Half in March for sure.

      • Ricky Simms is the elite athlete coordinator and told me that he didn't know of a live stream but said that the race's Twitter account should be posting updates. Race goes off at 10:30 p.m. ET:
