Running on TV

This Sunday, June 5, at 2pm (EST) the Prefontaine Classic will be broadcast on NBC. Track & Field only gets an hour out of the broadcast day, but they are sure to be showing the men's 2-mile race. Alan Webb, the best miler in the US, Dathan Ritzenhein, the best 5k runner in the US, and Hicham el Gerrouj, the world record holder in the mile, will all be in the race. In addition, Paula Radcliffe (yes, that Paula Radcliffe) will be racing in the women's 1500 meters. I had no idea that she was that versatile.
