NEW YORK – Olympic marathon champion Joan Benoit Samuelson will run in the New York Mini 10-kilometer road race in Central Park next month.
She joins 2004 Olympic marathon team members Deena Kastor, Colleen De Reuck, and Jen Rhines in the All-American field for the June 12 race.
Kastor broke Benoit Samuelson’s 17-year-old American record in the marathon last year in London, running in 2 hours, 21 minutes, 16 seconds. Benoit Samuelson won the gold medal in the inaugural women’s Olympic marathon, in Los Angeles in 1984.
