And the 5,000 meters of the NXN is tougher than it looks. The large trees and manicured fields provide this buccolic look and feel. But, mother Nature makes sure that the race is energy sapping. And just when you think that there is nothing left, there is that final 150 meters, sprinting, charging and being uplifted by the roars of the fans.
Each year, on the first Saturday in December, for 12 years now, the fans, the runners, the hype and the weather all add their contribution. Face it, this is an event only Nike can do! The Runnerspace TV is one of the finest quality broadcasts anywhere. The support of the worlds most eccentric sports marketing company, Nike, provides the elite youngsters chances to see the likes of World Champ medalists, and Olympic medalists, and yes, Chicago marathon winners.

Aidan Troutner entertained this Northwestern city with his gutty charge over the last, exhausting meters of the race, holding on and taking the victory! Troutner’s race was like a poker player. For 4,500 meters, Aidan did not play his hand. At 14:06 into the race, Aidan made this made charge past a fading Danny Kilrea, caught Mwaura and Hasty, and then it was down to two.
Aidan Troutner knows how to finish. Up the final hill, and then, a mad sprint to the finish, and Aidan Troutner took the boys title at the NXN in 15:03! Absolute madness! What a race!
NXN is dreams fulfilled and dashed, mud, sprinting and screaming, for five thousand, energy sapping meters!
