Looks adequate to me.

Parker Stinson will stick his nose in it and then Erassa or Korir will emerge victorious.
Not sure women's is that clear. Think Hall finishes 2nd or 3rd based on recent races.
Good old pistol wavin New Haven!

Who else beats her if she gets third? Jermann?
With a 1:10 half at Grandma's she has a chance on a good day, has been improving each race

Men's field looks a lot stronger. It's not that there isn't a ton of depth in women's distance running, just a ton of no shows. Would be great to see Hasay, Cragg, Sisson, Taylor, Huddle, Des, etc. Sara Hall is the class of this field & should win easy.
Men's side I like Fauble, Fischer, Korir, Lalang, Stinson. Fauble & Korir will be coming off of the Falmouth Road race (2 weeks before). Fauble just went 28:59 at B2B. He's training for a goal half and is still early on in his training following his 2:09 at Boston and some well deserved time off. Stinson has the Crim 10 miler the week before this where he'll be battling his coach (Ritz). Fischer is presumably using this as a tune-up for Chicago & will likely be in a big training block. I'll take Korir & Fauble to go 1, 2. Will be interesting to see what Lalang can do here. Big talent at Arizona who hasn't done a ton on the pro side but is a part of WCAP now. Just finished 3rd at the Pan Am Games 10k & I'm pretty sure he has never run an event over 10k before.
Falmouth will be a pointer for fauble to see where he is up to. Sambu and ches will test him. Is it seven miles there?
Yep, Falmouth is a rolling 7 miler. Unique distance for a classic summer road race. He'll also face Korir there. I think since Korir had to get sharp for the US 10k Champs that he's going to be further along than Faubs for both Falmouth & New Haven. Like the added wrinkle of having Ches in there. Falmouth could play into his hands if they can't drop him, you have a nice downhill sprint finish if he's there at the end.
This race is awesome!. They do a great job!
So, this is the longest running "no pun" USATF championship in the country?
The start list is getting good!
I'll take the 2018 winners to repeat
Fauble and Belainesh Gebre (she ran a 1:09 half)

Do you want me to link you what a flat and fast course looks like?
You’ve obviously never raced it. Let me know when you do.
Come on it's fast dude. why lie about it. The finish after rock creek park is very fast.
And yes, I've ran both the new and the old course.

I have run this race over 10 times. I can tell you, it has two hills in 12.4 miles. One at 2 mi. This is a short steep hill, and you are fresh at this point, so it's no big deal. The other is around 9 1/2, and is not as steep, but longer. From 2 miles to 9 miles it is flat as a pancake! And from 10 to the finish, it's one long straight road that is flat, flat flat.
I'm not sure who or why someone is saying this is a hilly course. They must be some weenie that focuses on flat courses.
I'm hoping to be healthy enough to run it again this year. The half marathon is an afterthought. The male winner overall is usually around 1:17
