What is his prize?

What was his time?

Is this televised?

Where does he reside from?

Winner gets $150,000. Keflezighi is the 2004 Olympic Silver Medalist, 2012 4th place Olympic finisher, and the 2009 New York Marathon winner.

Running a PR at 38 and 50 weeks is amazing.

He resides in Mammoth Lakes, CA and was an All-American at UCLA. He came to the US as a refugee from Eritrea when he was 12.

ETA: Skechers has to be so fricking happy right now. Best investment ever.

2:08:37 - his personal best but not a BM record

yes - universal sports and streaming online

his family immigrated here fro eritrea in around 1987 when he was 12. He grew up in America (San Diego) - began running in middle school in america. So, he's an American - as opposed to others who have moved here after growing up elsewhere and gaining fame as a runner.
