Curtis to Test Fitness at Cork City Sports International 3000

Coming off a DNF in the 5000 meters in Sweden due to a lower leg problem, and after some rehab with guru Gerard Hartmann in Limerick last week, Bobby Curtis has been added to the 3000 meter race at the Cork City Sports Classic on Tuesday night in Ireland. As the start list below shows, the race could prove to be fast as 7:38 Aussie Olympian Collis Birmingham leads the entries.
