Why is Molly doing the "Women's 6km Festival"? Isn't she supposed to be a marathoner? Will she ever run another marathon? Looks to me that with each race, Molly goes down in distance and race prestige. Just look at the taglines of this race's website:

Didn't Connor Mantz just run the 1500m at a high school meet? Don't hear anyone complaining about that.
you make it sound like this is a goal race or an important part of her build when it’s just Molly supporting the sisterhood.
sure there are some big question marks over her right now but participating in this event isn’t one of them.
We've seen time and time again that when a female runner starts "supporting the sisterhood" and "empowerment" on her social media that it means they are no longer able to perform and past the time for retirement. She is using feminism as a cover and excuse like we've seen with countless others

I am glad someone got it right. A marathoner that if firing on all cylinders would never compete in a race like this. She is no longer a contender, just a pretender.

The 6K in Canton OH is on the USATF road race circuit and there is $20,000 in prize money, typically distributed to the top 10. So, the opportunity to win some money helps with the bills and a higher placing looks good to sponsors. With a women's only field the race will attract some attention and she might even get some appearance fee, and be a featured speaker.
Bring the downvotes on, but those are some reasonable facts.
Riding the "Olympic bronze medalist" while not being that caliber anymore. True that she will always have that, good for her. But it appears she knows if she did run one that her ability to make money from sponsors and appearances may take a hit. So she's essentially capping right now. But again, can you really blame her for being aware and intelligent enough to maximize her clout with what she's equipped with and acknowledge her fitness is not ideal? No.
