  • Camille and Comrades
    July 2017 Issue No. 255 CAMILLE AND COMRADES: Herron reflects on historic win at world’s premier ultramarathon By Jenni Carlson Camille Herron sat at a high-top table away from the hustle and bustle of the burger joint. The weekday lunch rush at The Garage in Midtown was largely over, but after a late-morning workout at Lake Hefner – she wanted to run in the heat and the wind -- a burger overflowing with toppings and an order of sweet potato fries sat in front of her. She needed calories. She wanted fuel. But for long stretches, the food went untouched – Herron was talking about her running instead of eating. And there’s lots to talk about these days. When Herron and I met for a late lunch, it was only two weeks after the Oklahoma native’s historic win at the Comrades Marathon in South Africa. She became only the third American, male or female, to win the world’s most prestigious ultramarathon. And it was only a week or so before she went to the Western States 100, one of trail racing’s biggest events. Herron, 35, couldn’t have been more excited about what she’s already accomplished this year, starting with Comrades. “I won the World Cup,” she said, trying to explain how big Comrades is in the world of ultramarathoning. She went to Comrades for the first time three years ago. At that point, she was transitioning to Camille Herron ultramarathoning after an extremely successful See Camille, on page 6 marathoning career -- she won the Oklahoma City www.okcrunning.org July 2017 President’s Message By Matthew Wilcoxen, President Summer has sprung!

  • 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.

Payton, this was scheduled long before you hit your little speed bump a week or so ago. So we'll tell the folks about that, but as we start doing this, I think of you and I sharing the better part of the last 50 years telling stories to one another. Laughing with one another. Laughing at one another. [laughter] Murphy: [0:38] But here we are to recap this. Tell the folks about your little speed bump, you're doing fine, you look great, things are gonna be fine. Payton Jordan: [0:46] I'm sure everything will be fine, I had a slight bump in road, had a little lump on my neck. And they found out it was a very rare cancer and we had to do a little cutting and we'll be doing some radiation and in no time at all, I'll be back up and at them. Murphy: [1:00] They didn't give you a face lift, too, because you're looking so pretty here. [both laugh] Jordan: [1:05] They kind of knit my nerves on one side a little bit, but I'm going to be OK. Murphy: [1:09] We're going to have fun talking about this, we're in no hurry, we're just gonna kind of ramble on.
