Tom McGlynn of Burlingame, C.A., and his training partner, Mike Wallace of Menlo Park, C.A., hope to score a fast time at the 29th Annual Kaiser Permanente Napa Valley Marathon on Sunday, March 4, that will qualify them for the U.S. Men’s Olympic Marathon Trials on November 3, 2007, in New York City. The Trials race will select the U.S. men’s team that will compete in the 2008 Olympic Games men’s marathon in Beijing, China next year.
To qualify for the men’s 2008 Trials, U.S. men must run 2:22:00 or faster. Coincidentally, 20 years ago at the 1987 Napa Valley Marathon, Dick Beardsley set the men’s course record of 2:16:20 on NVM’s certified course in a successful outing to qualify for the 1988 U.S. Men’s Olympic Marathon Trials.
