Also, in cooperation with William Hill, the prominent U.K. bookmaker, they
also released the latest betting odds. At 2-1 odds, Haile Gebrselassie is
the men's favorite to win, but the more adventurous may want to bet on
American, Khalid Khannouchi, at 25-1.

The Flora London Marathon is scheduled for Sunday, April 23.
