Episode Boston Marathon Adds a Lottery, Sub-2 Marathon Officially Ratified & UTMB Backlash
Boston Marathon just added a second-chance lottery for runners stuck in the qualifying gray zone... and that's just the start.
This week on The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down the BAA's new 1,000-spot lottery for rejected BQ qualifiers, Sebastian Sawe and Tigst Assefa's newly ratified world records from London (plus why Jacob Kiplimo's half marathon record is still stuck in limbo), Aurélien Sanchez's stunning new Pacific Crest Trail FKT, Hunter Woodhall's controversial disqualification at the USATF Para Outdoor Championships, and the Chamonix mayor's push to shrink UTMB after residents said they "despise" the race.
