What a race through the five boroughs. πŸ™οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ The 50th anniversary of the NYC Marathon course gave us pure, unfiltered marathon drama from Staten Island all the way to Central Park. In a massive shocker, Sweden's Andreas Almgren stormed to victory in his marathon debut, taking the men's title in 2:06:01 after a relentless tactical battle down Central Park South. On the women's side, Kenya's Sheila Chepkirui reclaimed top honors in 2:24:36! But the biggest performance of the morning came from American Jessica McClain, who threw down a heroic second-place finish (2:24:42), edging out defending champion Hellen Obiri and breaking an 8-year U.S. women's podium drought in NYC. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ”₯ And in the wheelchair divisions, Marcel Hug held off Daniel Romanchuk by ONE single second (1:28:14) to win the men's race, while Catherine Debrunner dominated the women's field in 1:40:02. We have the full race recaps, complete top-10 leaderboards across all four elite divisions, and key takeaways live on the site right now. πŸ”— Tap the link in our bio to see the full results on MarathonJournal.com! πŸ“Έ @manuchamos by @marathonjournal_

Proof that your marathon habit is actually good for the global economy. πŸ˜‰πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’¨ A brand-new report from Brand Finance reveals that the world’s top 50 marathons injected a massive $6 Billion into host city economies in 2025 alone, while raising $434 Million for charitable causes worldwide. The biggest driver? TCS-partnered races (including New York City, London, and Sydney). TCS events delivered $3.2 Billion in local economic impact and drove 73% of all charitable fundraising across the top 50 global marathons. So next time anyone questions your race travel, hotel bookings, or pre-race pasta dinners... just tell them you’re doing your part for the macroeconomy. πŸπŸ¨πŸ“ˆ We broke down the full numbers, what it means for the future of major marathons, and why this matters for every runner lacing up. πŸ”— Tap the link in our bio to read the full breakdown on MarathonJournal.com! by @marathonjournal_
The race for footwear supremacy just shifted into high gear. Just days before the starting cannons fire for the TCS New York City Marathon, both Nike and Adidas dropped their flagship racing weapons globally. The Nike Alphafly 4 ($280) and the record-breaking Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 ($500) are officially out in the wild. Unlike earlier trickle drops that vanished instantly into reseller hands, today's wide release gave everyday runners a genuine window at stockβ€”though core sizes are moving at lightning speed. We broke down the release dynamics, pricing realities, and inventory velocity behind both shoes on the site. πŸ‘‰ Hit the link in our bio to read the full breakdown on Marathon Journal. #MarathonJournal #NikeAlphafly4 #AdiosProEvo3 #NYCMarathon #RunningTech by @marathonjournal_

Major shift coming to London? πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ TCS London Marathon organizers are considering introducing male runners and pacemakers to the elite women’s race in 2027 to help the world's best distance runners target world records. London Marathon CEO Hugh Brasher confirmed to The Independent that discussions are actively underway with top athletes, with an official field announcement expected in January. ⏱️ Why it matters: Women-only races lack the deep pacing packs of mixed-gender races. A shift toward male pacers could help athletes unlock faster times, similar to Paula Radcliffe’s iconic 2:15:25 in 2003 or Tigst Assefa’s 2:11:53 in Berlin.

The countdown to the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games took a major leap forward today as the LA28 Organizing Committee unveiled its official slogan: "Stars Align." Launching alongside a high-energy campaign video set to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Can’t Stop," the slogan captures the intersection of lifelong athletic preparation and generational opportunity.For distance running fans, LA28 is shaping up to be landmark event. Track and field will kick off right away in Week 1 at the historic L.A. Memorial Coliseumβ€”making it the first stadium in history to host Olympic track across three separate Olympiads (1932, 1984, 2028). Meanwhile, the marathon takes center stage in Week 2, with course plans connecting the Venice Beach Boardwalk to the Griffith Observatory.

Just kidding β€” no one knows how to escape the comparison trap. It sometimes gets us all. Lisa recently talked about this and so much more with @marathonjournal_ and @runningpodcast on a recent podcast (linked in the bioβ€”there’s an article as well). While we cover so much, we don’t have the perfect answers about how to stop cheating yourself of the joy of running by comparing yourself, why girls quit sport at such a high rate, or how to get to the right β€œwhy”. We sure do say some great things about all of that, though. β€œIt’s a game you will never win,” Landrum explained. β€œThere is always going to be someone running longer or faster. If that is the marker by which you judge yourself, you will never feel like you are enough.” Instead, we came to three actionable steps to reset mental focus. Take a listen, then take the pressure off of yourself. by @marathonjournal_
🚨 BREAKING: Olympic and world marathon champion Peres Jepchirchir has been provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) after an EPO finding. According to the AIU, the adverse analytical finding came from an out-of-competition sample collected in Kenya before her recent Sydney Marathon win. πŸ“Œ What to know: A provisional suspension is not a final ruling. No sanction has been imposed yet. She is barred from competing while the disciplinary case plays out. Jepchirchir, 33, won Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2021 and the world title last year. She also won the 2022 Boston Marathon and the 2021 New York City Marathon. Her representative declined to comment when contacted by The Associated Press. The Boston Athletic Association said the suspension does not affect previous Boston Marathons. We will keep updating this story as it develops. πŸ”— Full story at marathonjournal.com (link in bio) #PeresJepchirchir #MarathonNews #Marathon #SydneyMarathon #MarathonJournal by @marathonjournal_
CUPLESS CHICAGO: 32,000 runners USED REFILL STATIONS, 122,000 single-use paper cups were saved, and a large percentage of the entire field embraced Culligan’s high-speed refill stops along the 26.2-mile course. 🚰⚑ To see if cupless hydration can actually work during a World Marathon Major without costing valuable time, Marathon Journal staff member Federico Burger ran Chicago equipped with a HydraPak soft flask. The result? Fast 3-second pit stops, seamless fueling on the move, and a brand-new Personal Record on course! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨ Across four dedicated stationsβ€”Miles 5.7, 10.1, 15.7, and 20.3β€”over 3,800 gallons of filtered water were dispensed in a dedicated highway-style pull-off lane designed to keep traffic flowing smoothly. But what happens if all 55,000 runners adopt this model in the future? We break down the data, the real-world ergonomics, and the future of sustainability at Abbott World Marathon Majors. πŸ“² Tap the link in bio to read the full article and gear breakdown on MarathonJournal.com! *Note: Graphic reflects the initial "nearly 60%" preliminary estimate originally provided to us by event organizers. Per their updated guidance, that specific figure has been retracted pending a full final data review. #ChicagoMarathon #MarathonJournal #HydraPak #CulliganWater #WorldMarathonMajors by @marathonjournal_

I always listen to marathons through a bubble. In Chicago, I took the bubble off… πŸ‘‚ The sound of Pilsen neighborhood, the heavy breathing, the crowd, and other things I didn’t wanna hear… but I heard them anyway. And what a reminder that getting to suffer through 26.2 miles is a privilege. Full tech review on the sharks run pro two will be life on Marathon Journal shortly. What is the one sound on the course that keeps you moving when your legs quit? HUGE thank you to @shokzusa and team for this opportunity! by @marathonjournal_
