Race favorites
We don’t have odds at DraftKings Sportsbook, but there is still plenty of discussion about who could win Sunday’s race. Runners World and Let’s Run break down the big-name pros entered in the race. Olympic gold medalist Peres Jepchirchir is a likely favorite in the women’s race. Kenenisa Bekele, described by Let’s Run as “the greatest distance runner of all time,” could be racing in the US for the final time. Men’s Olympic gold medalist Eliud Kipchoge will not race, but silver medalist Abdi Nageeye will be in the field.
