Khalid Khannouchi is now 38 years old and hasn't raced since '08. But if you thought he was done, you were wrong. He's set to run the Healthy Kidney 10k next weekend in NYC.
Khalid will be joined by: compatriot Mo Trafeh, who looks to keep his breakout year rolling.
Adbi "Black Cactus" Abdirahman, coming off his 13:35 5k at Stanford.
Bobby Curtis, who just ran a 27:33 PR at Stanford.
And Patrick Smyth rounds out the USA contingent.
Also scheduled to run are: Ireland's Allistar Craig, who just DNF'd the 10k at Stanford.
Gebre Gebremariam of Ethiopia. The 2009 World XC champ had DNS at the NYC Half in March, but has the fastest 10k PR in the field with a 26:52.
Kenya's Peter Kamais coming off his big NYC Half Win over Haile Geb.
And probably some other guys you never heard of.
I will be on hand for the race, or most likely, IN the race. Yelling "Hey! Wait Up!!" from 3/4 of a mile back to the leaders. Next to Khannouchi.
The course record stands at 27:48, set by Tadese Tola at last years edition.
