The first women's middle distance/distance race on the program was the 3,000-meter run. Mardrea Hyman of Jamaica was the designated pacesetter. In addition to Hyman, there were 13 runners in the field. Conditions at race time were too hot and humid to be ideal for a distance race. The field included runners from Ethiopia, the U.S., Canada, and New Zealand. Shalane Flanagan (at right) ran an aggressive race from the start, she ran right behind the rabbit through the first two laps, ahead of Meseret Defar and Werknesh Kidane. The quartet of Ethiopians followed Flanagan through the 600m mark.
