And it seems there’s also a marathon in….errm….Košice.  :SVK

Not knowing the Peace Marathon...for shame sir, for shame!

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Pacemakers head off at announced, discussed, agreed pace.  No-one follows.  :hairpull:
 

Athletes now shouting at pacemakers to bring them back.  Problem is pacemakers are paid to run at a certain pace, are worried that if they don’t do the job they don’t get paid.

About time Nike was forced to take some responsibility for the Nike Oregon Project.

 

Former track phenom Mary Cain has filed a $20million lawsuit against former coach Alberto Salazar and his former employer, Nike, alleging that she suffered mental and physical abuse during her four years at the firm's Oregon Project.

 

Cain, 25, alleges in a lawsuit filed in Multnomah County, Oregon state court on Tuesday that Salazar humiliated her publicly on several occasions by disparaging her weight after making her get on a scale in front of other people.

Big hype for tomorrow’s Valencia Half-marathon, being billed as a double WR attempt.  Also full marathons from Rotterdam, Rennes, Ljubljana & Venice.
