Yeah, you mentioned Kip Chigiblei,
00:00:01
Hassan, also Bridg Kosky, the former
00:00:03
world record holder. Like it's a stacked
00:00:05
field. It's just amazing. I can't think
00:00:07
of many other sport in the world where
00:00:09
an ordinary everyday weekend warrior can
00:00:12
take part on the same course or the same
00:00:13
playing platform as the same day as the
00:00:15
world's best. It's a unique opportunity,
00:00:17
>> you know. It really is. And that I think
00:00:18
that one of the main attractions of
00:00:20
running and running events and the
00:00:22
marathon is exactly that when you
00:00:25
compare it to other sports like rugby,
00:00:27
like league or any ball sport as a
00:00:30
sport, they have a lot of people who go
00:00:31
and watch and that's nice. But what we
00:00:34
have is a lot of people who take part
00:00:36
who are so emotionally engaged in
00:00:39
running and the event because they are
00:00:42
participants just the same as Kip Chigi
00:00:45
is.
