Bill Staab, right, talks with a group of Ethiopian runners after a short workout at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx borough of New York, Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2019. Girma Bekele Gebre stunned the elite field at the New York City Marathon by finishing third as a nonelite entrant in November. It was a life-changing performance for the Ethiopian runner, and one made possible because of his involvement with the West Side Runners' Club. Staab, the team president, has spent four decades helping immigrant runners acquire visas and gain entry to U.S. races, spending nearly $1 million of his own money to cover fees. Bekele Gebre is his greatest success, but not nearly the only runner he's helped. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
