And there’s plenty happening in the running world: Eilish McColgan just claimed a record fourth London 10,000 title, Tigst Assefa’s manager has confirmed her complete Achilles rupture, and Boston has rejected qualifying times from the Wicked Fast Poconos Marathon after the course was found to be short.
Runners have until Oct. 19 to apply for a place in the Aug. 29, 2027 race, with names drawn on Nov. 3. More than 123,000 people applied for this year's race.
In this week's episode of The Running Story, we cover how Tigst Assefa ran at world-record pace at the 2026 Berlin Marathon until the final 2K. Assefa still won in a course record of 2:11:04, even though she appeared to suffer an Achilles injury around 40K.
Guye Adola won the men's race in 2:02:50, his first personal best in almost ten years.
We also cover Josh Kerr's 1,000m time trial at altitude in Albuquerque, which came within 0.83 seconds of Emmanuel Wanyonyi's world record before the Ultimate Championship.
From scenic shakeout runs and marathon-week festivities to world-class food, beaches, and bucket-list adventures, here’s how to make the most of your Sydney Marathon trip.
