How well do you know your states? Are you on a nickname basis? Let's find out.

 

Simple.  Fun. Educational.  Geographic.  What more do you need?  Well, more than 10 questions would be nice.

What do Kenenisa Bekele, Tirunesh Dibaba, Derartu Tulu and Fatuma Roba have in common, apart from being Olympic gold medallists?

 

What is it about this place that has produced so many world- class runners?   This is a great profile of the "Town of Runners."
