For women only

Article Abstract:

All-women road races are an answer to the male's inherent physical advantages in running. The few men who seek to enter all-women races under the auspices of sex discrimination are missing the point for why such races exist. Men are able to run at any level of competition while women cannot.

Article Abstract:

Million-dollar mania

Article Abstract:

Million-dollar running races, such as the match between Donovan Bailey and Michael Johnson, are made-for-TV stunts that do not promote running. Giving smaller prizes to more runners would be more beneficial to the sport.
