Sure !
Thanks for posting the full Elite field, I was about to link to the PR

- No mention of Emmanuel Mutai there but of course he hasn't been up to much lately (2:11:57 in Hamburg this year)...maybe he's going to pull a Kebede ;-)
They did get a great pacer with Saina who ran a stellar 2:05 in Buenos-Aires in terrible weather !
Looks like Adole is nowhere to be seen either. Can we assume that he was just a one off?
so it will be already started at this time tomorrow

Still too early to tell, if he's not at 100% there's no point for him to run. He's still young too, in theory ! Hope he doesn't go the way of guys like Abera who had a good 2016 until the OG, probably burnt himself out too after winning Dubai and Hamburg...
It starts in exactly 13 hours. Very interesting to see who goes out with Kiptum and how long they can hold on.
Remember, 2 weeks ago, Kiptum did a half marathon tempo on Moiben Road in 62 minutes, at 2200m altitude to simulate race pace. Given he'll be on flat roads at sea level it will feel easy for him until 30k.
When someone finds the link for the live stream, please can they post it here? Many thanks in advance!
The race starts at 9:00 at night East Coast time, 9 P.N. West Coast time, Bad news, the Weather in Abu Dhabi for Friday is a high of 85 and a low of 72 (The Race is on Friday in Abu Dhabi as they are 15 Hours AHEAD of East Coast Time and 12 Hours ahead of West Coast time.) https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Abu+Dhabi+United+Arab+Emirates+AEXX0001:1:AE
It will be hot, pretty dry and very very fast. Temps won't be disastrous just uncomfortable.

Thank you for the correction.
For those who will be watching, keep the updates coming throughout the race. Thanks and hopefully it will be a great race!
I wish Bekele ran here instead of Amsterdam. He would have been ready for this and hopefully injury free with good training done. I don't expect much to happen. I suspect Kiptum is just a flash in the pan. Tadese is the greatest half thoner.
We're pretty excited about tonights race and try to preview it quickly for you here.

Just looked on the FB page and website for the race, did no see anything about live streaming. Anyone else able to find something?

I hadn't thought to look at watchathletics. There is a link to adsports.ae which looks iffy but may just be too early to be active
