Cocodona, Where are the International Elites?

1 May 2026

I’ve just been browsing Liam’s Cocodona 250 race preview post and something struck me. Every single athlete Liam considers for the podium and worth mentioning here is from the US. And I am not insinuating bias, if anyone is thorough researching a runner’s potential for success at any given race it’s Liam. I am just wondering given the global popularity, and name-recognition, (and livestream) of Cocodona why hasn’t the event attracted a larger international field of runners?
