Olympic medallists Meb Keflezighi and Shalane Flanagon will lead a strong US presence at the Boston Marathon on 17 April, organisers announced.

Defending champion Wilson Kipsang will join Meb Keflezighi to headline a world-class men’s field at the TCS New York City Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race, on Sunday 1 November.

Meb Keflezighi knows that the combination of factors which led to his emotional victory in last year’s Boston Marathon is unlikely to come together again on Monday (20) at the IAAF Gold Label Road Race.

Organisers of the Boston Marathon have announced the elite US field for the 119th edition of the IAAF Gold Label Road Race on 20 April.

Meb Keflezighi, the 2014 Boston Marathon champion and winner of the 2009 New York City Marathon, and Caroline Wozniacki, formerly the top-ranked tennis player in the world, will run as Team for Kids Ambassadors at the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon on 2 November, organisers announced on Thursday (31).

Rita Jeptoo and Meb Keflezighi made Boston Marathon history on Monday (21), as Jeptoo won her third Boston in course-record time and Keflezighi broke a 31-year drought, becoming the first US man to win in Boston since 1983.

Organisers of the Boston Marathon have revealed the elite US athletes set to compete at the IAAF Gold Label Road Race on 21 April.

Three of the most accomplished US long-distance runners – Meb Keflezighi, Ryan Hall, and Kara Goucher – will run the 2013 ING New York City Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race, on 3 November.

Meb Keflezighi, Ryan Hall and Abdi Abdirahman are among the top names in the US line up announced today for the Boston Marathon on April 15, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race.

n the near perfect night for the distance running in the Stanford University, Toshinari Takaoka set a Japanese national record at the 10,000m. But he was not the only one who set a national 10,000m record.
