NOTE: When Linet Masai did not get an invitation to defend her title at the adidas Grand Prix, which was held on the same day here, she decided to run the Mini and made a smashing USA road racing debut. The 20 year-old reigning world 10,000m champion beat a loaded field to run the third-fastest time here of 30:48, despite soaking humidity. Her time missed the Kenyan national record by just four seconds. Behind her, two world cross country champions, Emily Chebet (2010) and Werknesh Kidane (2003) battled for second, with Chebet winning in the final sprint. Both women set personal bests. Paula Radcliffe, five months pregnant, jogged the race as an unofficial entrant in over 44 minutes. She jogged to the finish holding hands with 3 year-old daughter Isla.
NOTE II: This was the first-ever road race exclusively for women, founded in 1972. In it's 39th edition, the number of finishers surged by 21% from last year.
