716. Big Dog's Backyard and World Half Marathon Championships | Endurance Twitter

@MaggatronRuns is back to Big Dog’s Backyard this weekend to defend her title. This time it’s a World Championship with 24 countries competing. Also on the USA team of 15: Phil McCarthy, Gabe Rainwater, Joe Fejes and Olivier LeBlond. Four women have broken the half marathon world record in the last four years.  All four are running at the World Half Marathon Championships this weekend.  Is this the greatest women's half marathon field ever assembled? Only one man has won a global title in XC, track, and on the roads. Joshua Cheptegei will attempt to become the 2nd in his half marathon debut on Sat. Endurance Noise & Random Musings Stay Healthy. Be Boring. Not Epic.
