The knee jerk response for this length race, assuming none of then cause
an injury, the lightest weight pair.

You have to decide this youself. I wouldn't wear any of those
because they are all boat anchors to me... to an overweight
newbie, I would recommend the ones with the most support.

In other words, my experience (and everyone else's) means
little to you in this situation. My feet are shaped differently than
you (I like the NB SL/2 last because it's not as curved), I weigh
132lbs, I am a forefoot striker, I have fairly flat feet, I've been
running for four years, I generally place in the top 1-3%, I would
want to run that race in under 55 minutes. .... I could go on, but
I'm sure you get the point.

cheers,

Which one is the lightest? I've done races up to a half marathon in
racing flats. A bit over 9 miles shouldn't be a problem for a
lightweight racer.
