Marathon Project produces Results
In a high point for a low year, The Marathon Project created an elite race for North Americans held on Indian land on a loop course in Chandler AZ. With few other options, many of the top runners in the USA participated and the results were stellar, including many personal bests. Among the highlights: A personal best for Sarah Hall who ran 2:20:32, the second fastest time ever run by an American woman (albeit with male pacemakers). Keira D'Amato also produced a huge personal best 2:22:56 finish as she finished second - just weeks after setting a USA 10Mile record. Among non-Americans, Natasha Wodak of Canda finished fifth woman in a personal best of 2:26:19 which likely means she'll make the Canadian Olympic team. Among the men, seven men ran sub-2:10, an amazing feat where the top prize was just $5,000 (but the big prize was having a race to be able to run!).

Virgin Money London Marathon - Oct 4 - London, United Kingdom
The postponed London Marathon took place on October 4, 2020 as an elite-only race.
The men's race was slated to be a run-off between the two fastest men in the world: Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele. But the race did not play out as expected with Bekele dropping from the field two days before race day and Kipchoge having a terrible day with hip issues. Instead, three men approached the finish stretch together with Shura Kitata taking the win in 2:05:41 (the slowest winning time at London in seven years). Vincent Kipchumba finished just behind in 2:05:42 and Sisay Lemma was third in 2:05:45.
In the women's race, Brigid Kosgei defended her London Marathon title, easily winning in 2:18:58. Sara Hall ran a personal best as she ran down the competition to take the runner-up spot in a personal best 2:22:01. Ruth Chepngetich, the 2019 World Champion, was third in 2:22:05.

2020 Olympics - Postponed to similar dates for 2021
The 2020 Olympics, scheduled to be held in Tokyo from July 24, 2020 to August 9, 2020 will now be held in Tokyo from July 23 to August 8, 2021. The new dates, as with the old dates, comprise an opening day of Friday and final day of Sunday. These new dates overlap with the scheduled World Athletics Championships which were to be held in Eugene, Oregon from August 6 to August 15, 2021; so the World Championships will now need to be rescheduled. The IOC Press Release for the new dates for the Olympics state: 'The same heat mitigation measures as planned for 2020 will be implemented,' which seem to indicate that the Marathon and Race Walking events will still be planned to take place in Sapporo rather than Tokyo.

2020 USA Olympic Marathon Trials Marathon!
The USA's Marathon Team for the 2020 Olympics is now set! In a great Olympic Trials Marathon, on a hilly and windy course, three men and three women distinguished themselves above all others to make the Olympic team.
