@SixPointSports Don’t forget one of the most iconic, best organized world marathon majors every October: #ChicagoMarathon ….I’ll be running my 17th Chicago Marathon come October 11 and cannot wait. Amazing atmosphere. 🏃‍♂️

I’ve covered Monaco and I’ve covered Le Mans — but nothing prepared for my first Indy 500 🤯

Some reflections on a week in Indy that brought me such joy and felt like going back to my racing roots, as well as completing my ‘Triple Crown’ 👑

1 in every 1,000 people in the United States will be in Indianapolis at the track today for the Indianapolis 500, as they have been for over 100 years.

There is nothing else like it in the world.

Indy 500 grandstand sellout! One of my favorite stats is that about 1 in every 1,000 people living in the U.S will attend the race.

For those wondering if we can trust this new 1:59:30 marathon world record by Sabastian Sawe since there have been so many Kenyan runners caught doping and using performance-enhancing drugs in recent years...it’s always hard to have 100% certainty, but credit to Sabastian Sawe, his agency and his sponsor (adidas) for doing their best to be transparent.

Some context for folks: Adidas included a budget in Sawe's contract to provide funds to the sport’s anti-doping organization (the Athletics Integrity Unit) of about $50,000 to test him. Basically, they wanted to prove he was clean, as there was growing confidence that he would break the marathon world record of 2:00:35 set in 2023 by the late Kelvin Kiptum. They also wanted to avoid the doubt of Ruth Chepngetich breaking the women’s marathon world record in 2:09:56…and then having that skepticism validated when she tested positive for a banned substance.

Sawe was reportedly drug-tested 25 times (this included blood and urine) in the space of two months in the lead-up to last fall's Berlin Marathon and that’s a pretty high number. He was not tested as frequently before this race but his coach Claudio Berardelli confirmed that the Athletics Integrity Unit sets the testing regimen and that he is on a higher frequency of testing than other athletes in 2026 because of the additional funding being provided.

Confirmed in nearly every convo had this week: The Final Four should be permanently held in Indianapolis.

No other city comes close to embracing it in the same way.

Best host city in all the world 🫶🏼

@SaraHall3 —I’m excited to pre-order “For The Love of the Grind!” As relatively new residents to AZ, my wife and I both look forward to reading this memoir. I also still reference many items and favorite scripture from @ryanhall3 “Run The Mile You’re In.” Thank You, Both! ❤️🏃‍♂️🏜️

Marathon #️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ today…in the books! 3:39:57. Virtual since Carmel was cancelled two weeks ago (due to bad storms). Had a blast this morning, especially since Andrea was with me every step of the 26.2 mile journey! She ran a few miles then hopped on her bike—❤️🏃🏼‍♂️
