We feel very lucky ... It’s one thing to have one of America’s most talented athletes step to our starting line, but what makes it even more special to us is that Kara is the protégé of Alberto Salazar, a three-time winner of this event, and the last big American champion. We get the one-two punch of an athlete of Kara’s caliber, attitude and heart, together with the coach that knows how to win in New York.
We are thrilled to have a runner of Alberto Salazar's caliber captaining this year's Global Heroes
Toni, running is great. It has a wonderful demographic. But we don’t buy things in bundles of 5000, 10,000, or 40,000. We buy in the millions. We can’t be taking calls from 400 individual race directors. Group yourselves together and sell me one thing.
I want to be a baseball player, because you make a lot of money. Or, I want to be an Olympic runner, because everyone wants your autograph.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ATF World Marathon Majors.
