If not me, then who? If not now, then when?

As our plane gently touched down at O’Hare, these were some of the questions running through my mind ahead of the 2026 Chicago Marathon.

After months of preparation, countless miles, and a whole lot of belief, there was nothing left to do but embrace the opportunity in front of me. I trusted my training, believed in myself, and above all, wanted to enjoy every second of it.

To have friends, family, coworkers, competitors, and even complete strangers cheering me on through 2 hours, 6 minutes, and 45 seconds was nothing short of extraordinary. It’s a feeling I’ll carry with me for a long time.

Whether you’ve known me my whole life or just started following along, I want to thank every single one of you. This sport is full of mountains and valleys, with a funny way of building you up and humbling you all at once. Through it all, I’ve learned that the people you surround yourself with are what make the journey so worthwhile. More recently, I’ve found that to be one of my greatest motivations to keep doing difficult things.

From the moment I arrived in Chicago, I was welcomed with open arms by race directors, sponsors, fellow competitors, and so many others. The opportunity to be part of something like this was a dream in itself, and I knew I wanted to make the most of it.

I don’t have to do this. I get to do this.

I’m proud of the work I’ve put in, the decisions I’ve made, and the unconventional path I’ve chosen. There’s a certain freedom in trusting yourself, embracing your competitive spirit, and seeing just how far it can take you.

Sunday was more than a time on the clock. It was an immense learning experience, one that taught me more than I could have ever imagined before stepping onto that starting line. I walked away with a tremendous amount of gratitude, a little more perspective, and somehow an even greater hunger for what’s ahead.

A lot to be thankful for, a lot to be proud of, and an awful lot left to chase.

Chicago, you were something else. Until next time.

Adrian Wildschutt sets an ambitious goal for his debut marathon with planning to break the South African National Record and sub 2:05. This would be well under the current South African Marathon National Record of 2:05.36.

Nadeel Wildschutt goes into his second marathon with a strong training block and his sights set on running sub 2:07.

The two South African Brothers grew up running together, continued their careers running side by side at Coastal Carolina University, and now are both on HOKA NAZ Elite running the alongside each other in a race for the first time in their professional careers.

Together, the Wildschutt brothers fly higher.

We want to give a big thanks to South African Olympian Adriaan Wildschutt for speaking with us today!

A former All-American at Coastal Carolina and Florida State, Wildschutt placed 10th in the 10,000 meters at the Paris Olympics. He joined us just days after taking 25th in the Chicago Marathon.

2:05:35 at the Chicago Marathon.

3rd fastest marathon in American history, in my 3rd attempt at the distance.

Less than a year ago, I had no clue if the marathon was my event. There were so many unknowns with the training volume, whether I was ready or mature enough as an athlete, and the daunting challenge of the race itself.

Having run all 3 American majors now, I’m leaving Chicago knowing exactly what I’m capable of. And I’m unbelievably excited to be part of an incredible era for American distance running.

What excites me most as I reflect on this race is that I want more of everything. More mileage, harder workouts, a shot at the podium, and to keep pushing the frontier of what we can do at this distance.

While I definitely have a lot to work on with my race execution, the parts of this race I’m frustrated with are things that wouldn’t even have seemed possible a year ago.

I love this sport and I love where it’s headed.
Let’s head there together.

Charles ✌️🦅
