- Will team USA win as a team the world Half Marathon?
- The 2007 World Half Marathon championship event will be take place in Udine, Italy on October 14; named "The World Road Running Championships" its is neither an Olympic distance or World Championships raced event. Given the fact that we at www.halfmarathon.com think the distance is more interesting, more adistance to aspire to racing hard over, and more of a real race than most people will ever see the Marathon as; that may all change one day. The classic half-marathon distance is being run on a spectator and camera friendly 7,000 meter criterium-loop which wends its way through the streets of Udine. There is now US$225,000 in prize money on offer in total which does not make it a true big money race in the sense of the London Marathon or other major city events but this still provides a great incentive to perform; the American womens team currently on form must be in with a chance of some of that. Each "national" team consists of five athletes; the top three athletes scores are combined to determine the winning nation.
