World Class 10k(Track) in Philly area on Aug 6th

I received the following from Dave Monti and his Road Race Weekly service. Thought people here may be interested

Elite Sports Management International, an athlete management company, is
organzing a 10,000m event on August 6, 2003 at 7 pm at Haverford College in
Haverford, PA (near Philadelphia). The meet is open for anyone man who
seeks to run an "A" qualifying time for the IAAF World Championships in
Athletics.

One of the ESMI athletes, Gilbert Okari, was third at the Kenyan Trials and
needs to run the 27:49.00, "A" standard to get on the Kenyan team. ESMI
will provide pacemakers with the objective of a 27:30 finish time.

7 P.M. in August in Philly?? Here in Ohio I can pretty much guarantee 7 P.M. in early August it will be 80 dgrees with 80% humidity. I don't see many guys running 27:20 if that's the case. Move that baby back to 10:00 P.M..

Even better... Noone will notice if they only run 24 laps - that should give them a decent shot at a fast time :-p
