Last year, the world's greatest footrace live up to its billing. What will happen in 2024? Joshua Cheptegei and Jacob Kiplimo have split the last two World XC titles. Will one of them break the tie in Serbia or could 12:40 man Berihu Aregawi or World Half champ Sabastian Sawe shake things up?

The main obstacles standing between Cheptegei and a 3-peat are Olympic champ Selemon Barega and 12:40 5k man Berihu Aregawi. Can Woody Kincaid medal?

The star power for the men's 10,000 is super high and the drama will be great as the 10,000 world record holder, the half marathon world record holder, the Olympic champ, and a guy who won Pre by 15+ seconds by soloing a 12:50 will all battle, as will American Grant Fisher.
