Just under an hour until the start of the International Team challenge at the legendary @bolderboulder 10k. This is the 46th running of the event and last year’s pro race was incredibly exciting with Conner Mantz winning in a sprint finish to defend his title. @AidanReed45 from our @Roots_Running squad finished 5th overall and 3rd American in a fantastic performance. He then hopped on his bike and rode home like the “man of the people” that he is. He’s back this year and ready to go. Let’s go Aidan! There’s nothing like this event. To finish in a stadium full of runners, cheering you on, who just completed the course themselves is an amazing experience. Should be a bucket list race for all runners to do at some point. This years event capped out at 52,000 competitors. Boulder is a special place! Watch the race live here (womens race at 11:15am MT, men’s race 11:26am MT): youtube.com/live/mxnUTkEMbYI…

🗽 JUST ANNOUNCED: SHE’S BACK… Fresh off an Olympic bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, @hellen_obiri will return to the @nycmarathon to defend her title. She is looking to become the first woman to win back-to-back New York City Marathon titles since Mary Keitany’s threepeat from 2014-2016. 🇰🇪 She will be challenged by compatriot and 2022 NYC Marathon champion @shazrinee, who finished fourth at the Olympics. These two have now battled it out in New York, Boston and Paris. 👑 The field also features legends like Tirunesh Dibaba and Vivian Cheruiyot, who have won a combined 26 World and Olympic gold medals on the track and cross country between them. 🇺🇸 Dakotah Lindwurm leads the notable American contingent after her 2:26:44, 12th place finish in the Olympic marathon. Here’s a look at the field of women with sub-2:35 PBs ⬇️

🗽 JUST ANNOUNCED: Olympic gold medalist and reigning @nycmarathon champion Tamirat Tola headlines the 2024 New York City Marathon elite men’s field, which includes six total men with personal bests under 2:05. Last year, Tola broke the NYC Marathon course record in 2:04:58 and looks to become the first man since Geoffrey Mutai (2011/2013) to win back-to-back titles. Tola just broke the Olympic record on an arduous and hilly course in 2:06:26. 🥈 Belgium’s Bashir Abri, who claimed silver in Paris, will also race. 👀 The fastest personal best in the field is 2:03:00 held by 2022 New York City Marathon champion Evans Chebet, who withdrew from last year’s race and was unable to defend his title due to injury. 🇺🇸 The American stars are led by Conner Mantz (8th in the Olympic marathon in 2:08:12) and @_Clayton_Young_ (9th in the Olympic marathon in 2:08:44). Both will be making their NYC debuts. Here’s the list of elite athletes entered with PBs under 2:12 ⬇️

Tomorrow morning, we’ll have 7 athletes competing in the half and full marathons in Duluth at @GrandmasMara and Coach @DrRichardHansen will join them on the starting line in the full marathon. Download the Grandmas marathon app to follow along.
