Look for an official announcement Wednesday that Haile Gebrselassie, the fastest marathoner in history, will make his U.S. marathon debut in New York on Nov. 7. He plans to run with 1,200 school kids this week to celebrate National Running Day in New York, and his official announcement should follow. The 37-year-old Ethiopian legend has run two half marathons in the Big Apple, most recently this spring, and has built an affinity for both the city and the New York Road Runners organization that stages the race. He hinted during a visit to New York last month that he might like to run the New York Marathon before his career ends, calling it "the top event" among international marathons.
