Shalane Flanagan Late Entry Into Stanford Invite! 41 Reasons to Watch LIVE




This weekend FloTrack will be streaming LIVE the 2015 Stanford Invitational. Now I originally planned on writing race previews for the 800-10k because this weekend is the unofficial outdoor season kick off for collegiate/pro distance athletes. However, while looking through the ENTRIES last night Sum 41 came on my Spotify. So change of plans…

Here are 41 REASONS to tune into FloTrack to watch the 2015 Stanford Invite LIVE!
