The world famous World Mountain Running Championships are taking place in Argentina this Weekend. Seth will be at the Start for the short course race on Friday and Jim will be starting on the long distance course on saturday. Will the two greatest runners of all time win their races? What do you think?
I predict Seth on 2nd position due to his handicaps from the NYC and Amsterdam Marathon.
Jim will win the race.
Listed as 42 kms in Villa La Angostura ARG. 16th annual race, over a 1000 entrants in the classic, plus a 15K. It has a detailed website, haven’t pulled all the elevation figures yet.
Robert Chemonges for the men's short course if the Ugandan team make it to the race. If not, then Joe Gray.
Emily Collinge for the women's short.
Jim Walmsley for the men's long course and Judith Wyder for the women's long.
I think the greatest runner of all Times will win his race and Seth has good chance for the podium.
Jim and Seth are my favourite runners and Seth can ask Jim how to qualify for the Olympic Marathon Trials.
Seriously we are talking about Seth and Jim in same sentence? Seth hasn't done anything to be worth that, I would say Joe Gray is the real story here. Seth has no chance to win this level of event. He hasn't even been close to Gray and he himself has said it will be tough to podium with all the top Ugandans
Seth finished in the middle of the pack in the "short" race. Joe Gray won. USA won the Silver.
You are totally right! Jim is a PRO, an international elite runner! Seth is just a great athlete and a super nice guy, thanks to whom we learn more and more every single day.
From the vlog I don’t think Seth is use to all that heavy mud and rain. Sounds like the course was tough. The race footage was pretty cool though on Seth vlog. It was Seths first mountain championship. I’m sure he will be back but not next year because he concentrating on road races.
