Not much was needed with only weeks to prepare. Ornee and his nine volunteers were granted access to Holland’s West Ottawa High School track, including the sound system and scoreboard. The only part of the morning that presented a problem was allowing day-of signups, but that ended up being mostly a good thing when there were a few no shows. In total, there were 45 runners.
Still, the volunteers managed to have all of the runners in the right place at the right times, as each tagged out for the next runner to proceed.The runners had to pull off an average mile of 4:34 to beat, or at least match, Kipchoge’s time. Those early sub-4 miles paid off as the group cruised to a 1:49:32—an average mile of 4:11.
“Most the way through, we knew we had it, and it was just awesome to see that time on the big board and just a great group of people out on a Saturday for a couple hours”
