Heartbroken to learn of Dr. Joe Vigil’s passing. He was a coach to @aliatgray, a mentor to @DrRichardHansen & his training methodology has been the backbone of our group since its inception. We became better athletes, coaches and people because of him. ❤️

Update: @AidanReed45 absolutely crushed it yesterday.

Top American and 3rd overall at the historic @bolderboulder 10k. One of his best performances to date against a world class field.

A hard fought, gritty effort in hot conditions (80 degrees at the start) at 5300 feet elevation. To be the top American finisher entering the stadium, hearing the crowd erupt knowing many of those in the stands and along the course are your friends, training partners, and community members that support the sport was such an amazing experience. So proud of him and grateful for what yesterday meant for him!

[Richey Hansen @DrRichardHansen]

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!

Great run this morning by @DanceFrankDance at the @FalmouthRR finishing 10th overall and 5th American. Big step forward and a good indicator heading into a big Fall schedule.

[Roots Running Proj. @Roots_Running]

Outstanding run by @AidanReed45 this morning at @PGHMarathon Half Marathon finishing 3rd in 61:50. This was a 1 minute PR for Aidan. He’s had a great Spring thus far with more to come!

[Roots Running Proj. @Roots_Running]

Proud of @DanceFrankDance and @maggiemontoya1 today at Rotterdam Marathon. Very windy and humid conditions but they both came away with new PRs. Wanted a bit faster but given the conditions, we’ll take it!
2:09:53 and 2:27:51 respectively.

[Roots Running Proj. @Roots_Running]

Amazing performance this morning by @AidanReed45!
He’s coming back off injury and today was supposed to be a litmus test to see where his fitness is. He absolutely crushed it & raced w/ a ton of grit.

6th overall/5th US against a stellar field @CUCB 10miler/@usatf Champs 🔥

Huge congrats to @BRazzleDazzle5k finishing 3rd overall at the USATF 5km road championships in NYC. Highest US Champs finish to date and a 5 sec PR on this course. Very good run!

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

Happy trails to 2:09 marathoner Noah Droddy (@IBuiltTheArk) who announced his retirement from competitive running!

On Instagram, he wrote: "This running life has led me to so many beautiful, challenging, and unexpected places. I expect it will continue to do so, just in different ways now. I’ll still be running, I’ll still be around running. But I’m more excited to be there for other people now, and see what challenges become interesting to me along the way"

We've been lucky to have Noah as part of the CITIUS MAG family when @D3GloryDays was part of our podcast network. I'm sure he will continue to serve as an inspiration that many Division III athletes admire and chase as an example. Here's to more glory days!

[Roots Running Proj. @Roots_Running]

During his marathon buildup, in a high volume week, @AidanReed45 with an impressive performance at the USATF 20km Champs finishing in 4th place in 58:31. He’s poised for a big marathon PR this Fall and I can’t wait to watch it!

[Roots Running Proj. @Roots_Running]

Joining our fellas, @maggiemontoya1 will take on a strong women’s field at this year’s @nycmarathon! Couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity our athletes have in November. Should be a fun Fall!

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

🗽 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 ⬇️

[Roots Running Proj. @Roots_Running]

Loaded paddock and we’re bringing some of our horses 🐎🐎🐎

Excited for @IBuiltTheArk, @DanceFrankDance and @LukeACaldwell to be in this year’s @nycmarathon elite field!

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

🗽 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 ⬇️
