*1500m Debut Information:
I read in an article on the Track And Field News website that Hicham El Guerrouj debuted in the 1500m with at time of 4:01.
I do not know the date, location, meet, or position of the race. I have read elsewhere that he ran a 1500m in 3:51 in 1991.
So I assume that his 1500m debut was also in 1991 since the # of seconds of improvement would seem to be correct.

Correra Por La Paz Information:
Date Location Meet Distance Time Place
10-23-04 Gijón Carrera Por La Paz*** 1500r ? ? ?
Hicham El Guerrouj was in Spain to receive the 2004 Prince Of Asturias Award for Sports and he participated in their special
road race in Gijon, Spain called "Race For Peace". There were thousands of people in the race and they were mostly children
and teenagers. Hicham didn't finish first as he let some younger adolescents pass him but they were not elite racers. He was
running with young people the entire way. It wasn't a true competitive race but instead kind of ceremonial public fun run.
I am not sure yet on the exact distance of the race, some articles say it's 1500m but some articles say it's almost 2000m.
Extra Information:
In 1996 between the Stockholm and Seville races Hicham ran a 3000m time trial in 7:39.74
