AUSTIN, Texas (May 26, 2015) – FloSports, the authentic source for high-quality sports content and coverage, announced today that it will live stream the 2015 UAE Healthy Kidney 10K in New York City’s Central Park on Saturday, May 30.

The race, which is sponsored by the United Arab Emirates and benefits the National Kidney Foundation, will feature approximately 8,000 runners competing on the roads of Central Park.

Top contenders in the men’s race include defending champion Stephen Sambu of Kenya, 2014 TCS New York City Marathon champion Wilson Kipsang of Kenya, two-time New York City Marathon champion Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya, 2015 United Airlines NYC Half champion Leonard Korir of Kenya, and U.S. 5K American record-holder Ben True of Hanover, NH.
