marathons at world championships?

the paris marathon in april is known for its fast times, will the world championships be run on the same course? i know it is extremely unlikely to have the same weather as in april. who will be representing the united states? thank you

Re: marathons at world championships?

Different course. It loops around the city center but then makes a bee line north up to the Stade de France in St. Denis. The races will start around 2:20pm. And although it isn't as hot as it was a few weeks ago, it's still plenty warm in Paris, so I doubt we'll see any fast times. We haven't had a championship marathon with good weather since Helsinki '83!
