Kara Goucher and Some of Her Olympic Teammates to Run USA 10-mile Champs

Kara Goucher and her Olympic teammates  Abdi Abdirahman, Janet Bawcom, and Julie Culley will be running the Medtronic Twin Cities 10-mile October 7 along with defending men's champ, Mo Trafeh. The race is also this year's USA 10-Mile Championship.  It will be Kara and Abdi's second trip to Minnesota for US championships this year.  The pair won the Garry Bjorklund Half-Marathon in June.  At the TC 10-Mile they are running in an "equalizer" format--women start before the men and first person across the line wins $10,000-- maybe it's time for Twin Cities and Grandma's to add a bonus for any man or woman who wins both the Duluth Half and Twin Cities 10.  The Runner's World story is HERE.
