THE COMPETITORS<br />
Elite Runners <br />
A highly competitive race is expected from a compact field of 25 elite runners (as of <br />
March 1), with 17 men and 8 women set to race the 26.2-‐mile course. Though <br />
Markos Geneti— who set the new race record of 2:06:35 in 2011— is Ethiopian, <br />
Kenyan men have won this race 13 of the last 14 years. Russian women have <br />
dominated as well, winning five of the last eight and seven of the last 12. <br />
