May/June 2018 — Volume 35, Number 3 3 President’s Corner - Come Sit Awhile Second Winders, Some of you probably know that this March I directed my first race, the Clinton Lake Ultra. It was kind of This bench gives some good advice. fitting, since in 2013 that was the first ultra I ran. But, as some of you know, the forecast was so bad, I slept there the night before the race because I was afraid it would snow too much and I wouldn’t be able to get there. As Second Wind’s first cupless race, we ended up using cups to offer hot soup and hot chocolate, foods frequently found at ultras that go overnight, but rare at a 30 mile event. The first runner finished in 4:43 (no course records were harmed!), the last took 8:39, and a good amount of the soup got consumed. 38 of those hearty enough to start had dropped, and 6 inches of snow had fallen. It was not what I had imagined for my first race as RD. Having ran in plenty of races, and volunteered at enough others to know that checking the forecast is never a good idea, I try to not really look at the weather. Better to embrace the mo- ment and pack way more clothes than you need than be stressed out about a 30% chance of rain on a 14 day forecast. Needless to say, after four weeks of weekends and races with cold, rainy and snowy weather, I wasn’t holding my breath for the Illinois Marathon, a race with notoriously bad weather luck. It was a magically gorgeous day, though, sunny and dry, with a breeze. No snow! I was almost sad to not be running it for the first time Magdalena embraces the message of the bench after the first 35 miles of her race. since 2012. How does snow relate to the excellent advice found on a bench? I didn’t really follow it, since I was mid- way through a 35 mile run when it was taken. But I’ve been thinking about what it means beyond offering a place to take a break during a hike. What do you think it means? See you on the trails!

Famously, Kawauchi is a government servant where he works in the administrative office of a high school and does not run in Japan’s famous corporate team system. He is best known for his prolific marathon running and holds the world record for sub-2:20 marathons (he now has 79). He has already run four marathons this year, winning each, and reports that he will run “about one hour” Tues- day – training resumes with no days off. Linden, 34, overcame a strong urge to drop out in the first quarter of the race to become the first American woman to win Boston since Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach in 1985. Linden was also inducted into the RRCA Hall of Fame in 2017. RRCA reports that, “developed in 1970, the RRCA American Long Distance Running Hall of Fame inducts individuals who have given, not only athletic performance, but also to the overall contribution of the sport of long distance running. Inductees should have demonstrated long-term excellence (years of quality performance) as opposed to a few brief years of top performances.” Linden has had long-term success for sure, and has yearned to do well at Boston. This desire to keep going was especially important this year. Overall, race times were exceptionally slow as athletes fought against the harsh weather conditions which laid waste to a top-class field of runners competitively.

This year’s field includes reigning USATF marathon national champions Emma Bates and Brogan Austin, and five U.S. women with personal records (PRs) faster than 2:30 (including two of the top 10 fastest women in U.S. history). “This year’s elite field highlights an exciting resurgence we are seeing in American distance running right now,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “We have a deep pool of American runners who are coming to Chicago to run fast, and we cannot wait to welcome them in the fall. We could see new American records and a lot of personal bests in October.” American women’s field With a PR of 2:20:57, Hasay leads this year’s field as the second-fastest American woman in history and the fastest to ever run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Hasay hopes to put Deena Kastor’s long-standing American record, 2:19:36, in jeopardy. But Hasay’s primary competitor won’t be the clock alone – Amy Cragg, Emma Bates, Stephanie Bruce, Lindsay Flanagan and Taylor Ward represent a strong contingent of U.S.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.
