Bobby Curtis will compete in the 50th running of the Zatopek 10 tomorrow at Olympic Stadium in Melbourne, Australia (where he trains during the US wintertime). Curtis owns an all-time USA top-10 PR over 10,000 meters (27:33.38 at Stanford in May of this year) and will be in the mix with training partner and Australian national record holder Collis Birmingham (PR 27:29), Ben St Lawrence, Kenyans Josphat Menjo (who is the 2010 world leader with a 26:56.74 to his credit) and Luke Kipkosgei (who owns the course record of 27:22.54), and Aussie 10,000 specialist Shawn Forrest. Curtis finished second in the 2009 race.
