Hey runners, in today's newsletter, the weather is rewriting UTMB.
Thunderstorms over the Mont Blanc massif have pushed the 174K start back two hours to 7:45 p.m. Friday and cut the Pyramides Calcaires from the course entirely. The week's earlier races delivered though: Lauren Gregory ran down Naomi Lang with 800 meters to go to win the OCC by three seconds, and Andreas Minoggio overtook Hans Troyer late to take the CCC.
Elsewhere, Sabastian Sawe has withdrawn from Berlin. And with Sydney taking place this weekend, we've broken down the course mile by mile.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: the surprising benefits of a two-week break, everything you need to know about runner's knee, and 11 ways to get your mojo back.
Alex Cyr and Katelyn Tocci are on the ground Down Under! The gang provides a full preview of what it's like to be in Sydney during the first World Marathon Major of the season, plus an interview with its race director!
Editors Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle host a live watch-along stream of the 2026 Sydney Marathon, live near the finish line of the race! We'll provide our insights and experiences of what it's like to be in Sydney for marathon weekend, report on the elite race as it happens, and act as a second screen experience while you watch the live stream broadcast.
The two former champions were last recorded at Lac Combal, 68 kilometers into the race, 13 minutes apart. By 7:58 a.m. Saturday, 177 runners had left the UTMB, among them 21 of the 100 lowest bib numbers.
The 31-year-old Kenyan, unbeaten in four marathons, withdrew Thursday with an injury the organizers did not describe. He won in Berlin last year while carrying a stress fracture in his foot.
Nike says its new Goatek outsole delivers 45% more wet traction. The claim comes from the company's own lab, and the shoe is more than a year from shelves.
Italian Cristian Minoggio overtook American Hans Troyer in the final third of UTMB week's 100K, while Norway's Yngvild Kaspersen claimed her second title.
The sponsored Strava challenge from the Mars-owned dog food brand caps any single day at 5K and pays $10,000 to one randomly drawn owner. Veterinary guidance is more specific than the announcement, and it is not about mileage.
Why stepping away from training for just two weeks can support recovery, preserve key fitness markers, and set you up for stronger long-term performance.
If you’re currently suffering from a lack of running mojo, then take heart in the fact that you’re in good company, and here's how to get out of that funk.
The seventh World Marathon Major climbs 313 meters and descends 396, and the resulting 83-meter net drop is nearly double what World Athletics permits on a course where a world record can be ratified. The highest ground on the route is the start line.
Thunderstorms over the Mont Blanc massif have moved the 174K race to a 7:45 p.m. start on Friday and taken the Pyramides Calcaires out of the course. Every cutoff shifts with it, the last to 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
Gregory passed Lang 800 meters from the line in Chamonix on Thursday and won by three seconds after more than six hours of racing. Frédéric Tranchand led the men's race for the final 54 kilometers to give France its first OCC title in a decade.
