In an exclusive story posted on the website of Track & Field News, Kara Goucher said that she has decided to run the World Championships Marathon.

"We just decided it was what I needed for my professional career," Goucher told T&FN in a telephone interview, "so I submitted my name to USATF and I have been selected so I'm doing it. I'm going to run the marathon in Berlin."

Goucher was third at both the 2009 Boston and 2008 ING New York City Marathons.
