    Kiplimo’s 57:20 Half Marathon, Kipchoge’s Next Race, LA Marathon Controversies & NYC Lottery Odds | The Running Story

    This week on The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down the five biggest stories shaping the running world. First up: Jacob Kiplimo runs 57:20 at the Lisbon Half Marathon, potentially reclaiming the half marathon world record pending ratification after last year’s controversy over pacing vehicles. Next, Eliud Kipchoge announces he’ll run the Cape Town Marathon, marking the first time the marathon legend will race on African soil in a marathon — and possibly positioning him to become the first eight-star finisher if Cape Town becomes a World Marathon Major. We also dive into two major LA Marathon controversies: A stunning 0.01-second finish after the race leader was misdirected off course near the finish A heated debate after runners who took a heat-relief shortcut at mile 18 were still awarded finisher medals. Finally, the NYC Marathon lottery results are out — and the odds are tougher than ever, with around 1% of applicants accepted.

    Boston’s 2026 Medal Revealed, Two World Records & A Wild Week in Running

    This week on The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down five of the biggest headlines in distance running. The NYC Half Marathon elite fields are officially set, and the matchups are electric. Grant Fisher makes his highly anticipated half marathon debut, while Sharon Lokedi and Hellen Obiri renew one of the sport’s fiercest rivalries. On the track, Keely Hodgkinson takes down a long-standing 800m indoor world record in dominant fashion. In ultrarunning, Ashley Paulson runs 12:19:34 to break the women’s 100-mile world record — but her past suspension raises questions that the sport can’t ignore. Plus, a Florida man is federally indicted under the Rodchenko Anti-Doping Act in connection with an Olympic sprinter — a case that could have serious implications for elite sport. And finally, the Boston Marathon unveils its 2026 finisher medal. Is it a classic… or a step backward? We debate.
