The reigning women’s champions of the Boston and ING New York City Marathons will clash at the NYRR New York Mini 10-K on Saturday, June 9th, organizers announced here today.
Lidiya Grigoryeva, who notched her first Boston Marathon victory last April in the midst of a driving rain, will race again against two-time defending ING New York City Marathon champion, Jelena Prokopcuka, who finished second to Grigoryeva in Boston.
“Jelena and Lidiya are unusual in that they are both strong marathon runners with plenty of leg speed,” remarked Mary Wittenberg, the president and CEO of New York Road Runners in a press release. “Because the hills of Central Park favor stronger runners, this course is ideally suited for them. Look for their marathon strength to help them take the sting out of Lornah’s speed.”
