In a weekend jam-packed with marathoning, New Tecumseth, Ont.’s Ana Laura Fray delivered one of the most impressive performances of all
the 48-year-old made a powerful statement at the Toronto Marathon
blazing to an overall women’s victory in 2:50:40 and proving that age is no barrier to excellence
Her win was a standout moment among incredible results from across the country, including the BMO Vancouver Marathon and the Georgina Spring Fling
on the shores of southern Ontario’s Lake Simcoe
“If you had told me 15 years ago when I ran my first half-marathon in Toronto, that today I would be the winner of the full distance, I would not have believed you!” Fray wrote on Instagram
A post shared by Ana Fray (@analau_77)
The 2025 Toronto Marathon marked Fray’s 27th time tackling the 42.2-km event; even at 48, her performances sit short of her personal best of 2:46 by a mere four minutes. Fray’s coach, elite runner and coach Emily Setlack
surprised her by entering the race herself and running beside Fray throughout; Setlack took second overall in 2:50:42
“I couldn’t be more grateful for having her running with me and throwing a bunch of positive thoughts my way as I fought throughout the race,” Fray said
The outstanding run comes despite Fray’s late start to training

wearing carbon-fibre leg braces and a wide smile on her face.Laura Proctor/The Globe and Mail
Jennifer Pevec had been batting away the warning signs for months: the bone-deep fatigue
But as she neared the finish line of her second marathon
she lost feeling in her right leg and started tripping over her own feet
Soon after, Ms. Pevec was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
she had to step away from a high-intensity career in marketing communications that she loved
She was in pain and regularly cried in the hours between dropping off and picking up her two small children
And running was no longer possible; her doctors said she would need a wheelchair within five years
she did something she never could have imagined back in those dark
early days – she celebrated the 20th anniversary of her MS diagnosis by lacing up her white running shoes to race in the 2025 Toronto half-marathon
Jennifer Pevec celebrated the 20th anniversary of her MS diagnosis by running in the 2025 Toronto half-marathon
It was her 16th half-marathon since she was told her running days were over
has also since competed in 16 full marathons
four triathlons and seven three-kilometre open-water swims
“In my wildest dreams I couldn’t have thought that I would be where I am today,” she says
you would not expect to be better than you were 20 years ago
Pevec has the relapsing-remitting form of MS
characterized by symptom flare-ups followed by periods of remission
she was determined to attack her disease with the latest and most aggressive drugs she could get her hands on
her journey has also mapped onto a remarkable 20-year period of explosive progress in the MS landscape
which has seen game-changing shifts in understanding and treating the disease
MS is a chronic neurological disease where the immune system attacks the protective sheath covering nerve fibres
disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body
Canada has one of the highest MS rates worldwide
Symptoms and disease progression can be variable and unpredictable; some people only experience mild symptoms
while others eventually lose the ability to walk or speak
especially for treating the progressive forms of the disease
But walkers and wheelchairs are no longer a given for MS patients
who now have more than 20 disease-modifying drugs available to them
Pevec's 16th half-marathon since she was diagnosed with MS.Laura Proctor/The Globe and Mail
Pevec only had four therapies to choose from
director of BARLO Multiple Sclerosis Centre at St
was still a neurology resident at the time and recalls the dark euphemism her classmates used for MS and other neurological diseases: “diagnose and adios.”
It’s such a depressing field because there’s no treatments,” she recalls
“But I don’t think some of my other classmates … have had this experience
which is to see a field completely change in front of your eyes.”
The first disease-modifying therapy for MS was approved in Canada in 1995
It belonged to a class of drugs known as immunomodulators
a professor of neurology at the University of Ottawa and senior scientist with the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute
“They trick the immune system back to not attacking the brain,” he says
Early trials of immunomodulators showed they reduced relapse rates by 18 per cent to 34 per cent
was an immunomodulator that had to be injected into her thigh muscle and left her flattened for days with debilitating flu-like symptoms
“It was just a vicious circle of pain and discomfort and then anticipation of doing it all over again,” she said
the immunomodulators were just buying her time until she could get natalizumab
a next-generation MS drug she’d read about online
it offered “an apparent doubling of efficacy” for reducing relapses
according to a 2022 paper in The Lancet Neurology
Oh recalls that some even speculated it might be a cure
But “initial euphoria regarding this breakthrough turned to despair,” the Lancet paper says
also put some patients at risk of developing an often-fatal brain infection
Natalizumab returned in 2006 with a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy in place
Pevec was among the first patients in line for it
The drug Tysabri ushered in a new life for Ms
as it allowed her to start running again.Laura Proctor/The Globe and Mail
which was covered by her public and private insurance
Pevec visited a clinic every month to receive her hour-long infusion
she was walking her dog when she suddenly realized she was no longer tripping over her own feet
she broke out into a run; she didn’t stop for 12 minutes
“I got home and it was as if I had won the Olympic gold,” she says with a laugh
MS was no longer the first and last thing she thought about every day
She ramped up her volunteering and started working part-time jobs
her risk of developing dangerous complications became too high
her doctor had more than a dozen other therapies to offer
including pills that could be taken at home
Oh calls “the renaissance period of treatment of MS.” “Literally every year or two
we started getting new treatments available,” she says
A new class of “cell-depleting” therapies had also arrived and “proved to be game-changers,” according to the Lancet paper
Pevec opted for one of the newer therapies
It carried a high risk of side effects and required two rounds of multiday infusions at the hospital
she switched to an even newer drug that can be self-injected monthly – her fifth MS therapy to date

She is grateful for the therapeutic advances that have given her 20 years of full and active living – and running.Laura Proctor/The Globe and Mail
researchers have made huge strides toward better understanding MS
and doctors no longer wait to start treatment
“This completely changes long-term outcome,” she says
“Even a year of a delay in treatment can change how you’re doing five to 10 years down the road.”
But she’s grateful for the therapeutic advances that have given her 20 years of full and active living – and running

SHIPROCK – Kashon Harrison wasn’t sure he was going to run in the Shiprock Marathon until about three days before the event
as the 24-year-old Fruitland resident ran to a record-setting victory in the 43rd annual event
beating nearly 100 competitors Saturday in a time of 2 hours
Harrison’s final time eclipses the previous record for the Shiprock Marathon
which was held by Shaun Martin with a time of 2:34:59 when he won the race in 2012
finishing second with a time of 3 hours and 5 minutes
A multiple state champion in both track and field and cross-country at Kirtland Central High School
but was not intending to run in the marathon until earlier in the week
“I bought the registration card on Wednesday
my mom convinced me to run in the race ,and I actually didn’t know the race was coming up,” Harrison said
who works as an assistant for the track and field team at Kirtland Central High School
has an extensive record of racing achievements
He won the Class 4A state title in both the 1,600 and 3,200 meter events in 2019
Harrison captured the Class 5A title in those same events in 2018
Harrison captured individual state championships in the cross-country competition
leading the Broncos team to second place in the 2017 state championships
Harrison was voted the state’s top boys distance runner of the decade by NMMileSplit.com and was named the state’s top cross-country runner of the year in 2018 and 2019 by Gatorade
Harrison took his talents to Colorado University
where as a freshman he guided the cross-country team to third place at the NCAA national championships behind only Brigham Young University and Northern Arizona University
Harrison earned All-Pac-12 First Team honors and was also named Pac-12 freshman of the year in 2019
Harrison now volunteers his time with the Kirtland Central track and field program and works as New Mexico Community Liaison and board member at Fundamental Needs
an organization helping people in underserved communities addressing gaps in access to clean drinking water
Harrison said the most difficult part of the race was the second half of the 26.2-mile journey
“The turnaround after the halfway point was the hardest part
and I felt like I was getting tired,” Harrison said
“I needed some water and some snacks and all I saw was pickles and water and then I was able to take off again.”
Harrison was on the road to Bloomfield High
site of this past weekend’s Bloomfield Invitational track and field meet
where Kirtland Central’s boys team finished second overall behind the host team
beating more than 60 competitors in a time of 3:29:26
a bit more than a minute ahead of 42-year-old Stephanie Wurtz from Manitou Springs
a graduate of Azuza Pacific University in 2020 with a degree in nursing
including last year’s Oakland Half-Marathon and a 17th-place finish in the Bay Breeze Half Marathon this year
but the conditions and the wind and the rolling hills made it difficult,” Baron said
“The last 2 miles were the toughest of the race
but I kept myself entertained by the landscape of the course.”

Marathoners took over Yonge Street and parts of the western waterfront Sunday morning for the Toronto Marathon
which featured a half marathon (21.1 km) and full marathon (42.2 km) race
What started as a health kick and soon became a passion led to the top female spot for a Canadian on the Toronto Marathon podium
crossed the line at two hours and 50 minutes to capture the women’s event while Phil White from the U.S
had the best men’s time at two hours and 23 minutes
Thousands gathered along the western waterfront and much of Yonge Street on Sunday morning to cheer on the 13,000 runners
The event also featured a half marathon (21.1 kilometres) as well as 5K and 10K events in Exhibition Place
who ran her first half marathon 15 years ago
wrote in an Instagram post that if someone asked her at the time if she would win the full distance run
describing the event as a “special and incredible experience.”
A post shared by Ana Fray (@analau_77)
Fray grew up in Mexico and moved to Canada 25 years ago and has lived in Toronto and the GTA for more than a decade
She has completed 27 marathons and took up running in her midthirties as a way to keep herself healthy
but soon “fell in love with it” and “I haven’t looked back.”
“It comes down to being very consistent and determined,” Fray says of her success
“I work very hard in training and it’s awesome to see my work pay off.”
According to the running podcast, “Inspired Soles,” Fray first broke through the three-hour race wall at 41
and by 44 had clocked a personal best of two hours and 46 minutes
Fray’s coach Emily Setlack surprised her by obtaining a last-minute entry in the race to help Fray “stay focused and relaxed.”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for having her running with me side-by-side,” Fray said
“and throwing a bunch of positive thoughts my way as I fought throughout the race.”
And the weather cooperated with mild weather and no rain — ideal for running
Thousands cheered on runners with colourful signs: “Pain is temporary
posting on Strava is forever,” read one
a nod to the social media fitness app that tracks exercise
Anto Run!” flicking at the famous “Forest Gump” phrase
The behind-the-scenes race started well before runners showed up with a small army of volunteers keeping things moving
Toronto’s Linda Kessler Shapiro has volunteered for several years and was stationed just south of the Sporting Life on Yonge Street where
like dozens of other volunteers along the route
handed out Powerade to exhausted runners as they passed
“There really is a lot of co-ordination and working together,” said Shapiro
“It really is like a bit of a marathon for us.”
Shapiro said she’s thinking of walking in next year’s event after witnessing the “fantastic energy” and community
“We’re out supporting a really good cause,” she says
“and the community is standing together side by side
she celebrated with a few cold beverages and a large pizza but beyond that
and then I’ll likely start training again to tackle another marathon in the fall.”
Between 5 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. more than 30 routes were diverted due to widespread road closures across the city accommodating the event
which goes from Willowdale south to Exhibition Place
with the marathon runners looping out to Humber Bay Shores
The race has raised more than $8 million for The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation since 1995

ShareSaveCommentInnovationGamingThe Final ‘Marathon’ Closed Alpha Review: How Did It Go?ByPaul Tassi
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights
movies and the internet.Follow AuthorMay 03
We are just 24 hours away from the end of the Marathon Closed Alpha
a controversial outing for Bungie’s first new (well
What was originally supposed to be an NDA-ed Alpha turned into one that ditched those NDAs
seemingly to move past a recent gameplay showcase that many deemed underwhelming
how did players getting hands-on with the game go
I think there are two things to break down here
namely the content of the Alpha itself and how it felt
and then the larger reaction and story coming out of the Alpha in terms of impressions and reception while yes
more action-focused extraction shooter than other entries in the genre
This means attempting to please both existing extraction players and trying to pull in new players
but splitting the difference has produced mixed results
but it doesn’t exactly stand out if we’re talking about all-time shooter-maker Bungie
and ran into controversy when PC players found they had intense aim assists
where pushback was so forceful to that Bungie removed it entirely halfway through the Alpha
More time is needed to see how that shakes out
feel at least somewhat akin to Apex Legends fights
“Hero” kits have special moves with long cooldowns
but some have crazy bursts of mobility that don’t quite seem to connect with the style of play of the genre
But “heat” stamina limits are a hard wall if you’re trying to make this a great-feeling Bungie actioner
I don’t think the hero idea is a net positive for the game or a good twist on the genre
and a custom character feels like it would have been the more engaging idea
and this concept feels like it was jammed into the game because the Valorant director took over
Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase
which make for solid sections of combat when other teams are not around
can introduce a wild dynamic that makes things more intense
I can see this expanded more broadly (though this also makes me wish this was a PvE extraction game like Helldivers
The game is just brutal for solo players where future plans do not seem like they will meaningfully address that issue as the game relentlessly focuses on team games for launch
Playing with randoms often results in counter-goals or teammates running off or dying easily
Playing solo when everyone else is in 2s or 3s is a recipe to die when running into practically any other team
so you’re just hiding and skulking around the entire time
and this very much seems like a game you’re supposed to play with two friends or else you may not have a very good time at all
But how often is that possible for many players
The visuals are one aspect that are clearly unfinished
but the exteriors and player models need an exceptional amount of work
I still love the aesthetic even if it’s not quite what it’s been in Blender renders or cinematic trailers
I expect this to improve pretty dramatically by launch
can this sell the concept of an extraction shooter to players who have avoided the genre
Getting in a death spiral of running into players loading into matches with stellar loot compared to default black market kits made many fights almost impossible
Bungie has already started to try to narrow that gap
but losing a farmed loadout every couple of games remains unappealing to me
as does an end of season wipe erasing all of that plus your contract/upgrade progress
even though it’s sort of necessary for the genre
There is certainly something to be said about what’s missing
the last of which promises to be some sort of higher-end endgame map
and the whole game supposedly has more secrets to find when it’s live
So that’s certainly worth circling back around for and once again
the reception to this Closed Alpha was not positive
but taking the temperature of the gaming community
demonstrated the core components of the game
Other players did not because…they were not given codes
This was immensely frustrating for a huge portion of players
hundreds of thousands attempting to get codes in a Discord
That bodes well for interest for the beta or launch
but it resulted in a lot of people angry at Bungie
and new code waves that went out barely seemed to move the needle
The trendlines haven’t been great over the course of the Alpha
The literal numbers do not matter given that the Alpha is in fact closed
The game quickly sunk to around 20% of its launch players and stayed there
high profile streamers were very interested in giving it a shot
but almost immediately moved on within a day or two and few were raving about it
Twitch viewership was somewhere in the range of 1-6K
These figures are not the end-all be all of success
but I wouldn’t say they’re positive indicators of sentiment
existing extraction shooter players thought the game was too dumbed down to be something that improved the genre
A lot of casuals were turned off by the entire extraction shooter concept of losing loot or unbalanced fights
Geared up players got bored of stomping on default kit players
default kit players got tired of being stomped on
There was of course a middleground of players who did like the game and are excited for it
but this was not the majority view I found across social media
ARC Raiders arrived a few days ago at the worst possible time for Marathon
It is a much more traditional extraction shooter in the vein of Tarkov
making it at least a little more accessible
seeming ready for release despite it also being a Closed Alpha
and kept extraction concepts in place Bungie didn’t
solo play and just the general feel of the genre
The reaction to that Alpha was visibly more positive than to Marathon’s
but this does not seem like it’s going to be enough to convert me personally into an extraction player
even if I plan to still put a lot of time in at launch (granted
It will be the first Bungie game I’m not going to be heavily engaged with
though knowing this type of game was coming
as there is so much potential here with this world
Reaction to the gameplay showcase was negative
and attempting to prove that wrong with a hands-on Alpha seemed like it cemented that narrative more than it didn’t
It feels like it’s splitting the difference between multiple genres but not doing anything better than each of them
It felt like there was pretty clear interest drop-off quickly among most players who did have access
I cannot buy the idea that this was “just” a Closed Alpha as this was a large chunk of content and at its core
The Open Beta will be a better judge of sentiment with way more players poking around
but the idea that at the end of this road players will be asked to play $40 is daunting
That may not be the solution for all its issues
but racing toward a September release just five months from now does not seem wise given what we’re seeing here

there’s still a ton of juice in Benjamin Tuttle’s legs
On Sunday at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow
55.97 seconds to become Long Island’s 2025 champion
The 31-year-old East Moriches resident was a four-year varsity runner at Eastport-South Manor High School before spending four years on Cedarville University’s men’s cross country team
run an E-commerce business together called NurseInTheMaking
that has not stopped Tuttle from competing in the sport he loves the most
starting his days with several miles in the swimming pool
he goes for three-hour runs while pushing his 7-month-old son
Tuttle’s training has allowed him to flourish in several triathlons
It isn’t the winning he loves but the activity itself
I’ve always loved endurance sports and my training for them,” Tuttle told Newsday after the marathon
“I’ve liked racing a little bit less than the training part
but we always have to race just to see where we’re at.”
as he had never run a full-length marathon (26.2 miles)
his expectations entering the race were merely to gauge himself
Kristine Tuttle sometimes accompanies him at his races
he cooled down for a short while before hopping on his bike and riding it alongside the runners who were still going
he followed her and cheered her on until she finished
being able to compete alongside her husband allows them to keep their relationship strong
everything becomes about them — which is great
But I think we’ve been really able to keep us as well
after their kids leave the house for college
‘We’re strangers.’ So we really just try to do things that are for us
and it’s just fun to do things together as a team.”
crosses the finish line at Eisenhower Park to win the Long Island Marathon on Sunday
Huntington’s Alyssa Salese ran 3:03:56.98 to win a contested battle with the race’s defending champion
she’s not even a first-time Long Island Marathon champion
both in the running world and in her professional life
with her main one being a real estate salesperson for Compass Greater NY
She also helps out at her family’s business: Junior’s Pizza in Halesite
She’s in her first year as an assistant coach for Huntington’s varsity girls track and field team
“I was actually thinking about the girls today,” Salese said
“To go out with the expectation that it’s not going to be a perfect day and still give it your all is really important
Salese’s decision to return to Eisenhower Park this year had nothing to do with a desire to reclaim her title
she was using the marathon as a training session for the Chicago Marathon
It’ll be a good reason to celebrate,” Salese said

Independence native Sean Ryan couldn't have mapped out his first-ever Flying Pig Marathon any better
Henry High School alumnus who had been planning to run in the event for four years
It went about as perfectly as it could have," Ryan said
found a few hours each day after work to train for Sunday's marathon during a busy tax season
"It was interesting to put in the tax season hours
then going out and running a few miles a day," Ryan said
it can get monotonous just running as much as possible
I'm looking forward to having a more open schedule."
Over the last four years, Ryan typically used this weekend to train for conference championships while running cross country for Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois.

Ryan logged 15 top-10 finishes and won a pair of events
and the Flying Pig Marathon was the next step
"I've been looking at this race since I got into college
"I graduated in December and there is no time like the present
I was fresh off my college training and still in the groove."
Lewis said he found his groove Sunday around the fourth mile when he was hovering toward the top of the leaderboard
Ryan pulled away from the rest of the pack to log the seventh-fastest time in Flying Pig Marathon history
Bridger Altice was the runner-up in 2:26:05 and Ethan Davis finished third in 2:28.05
Not too much left and maybe you can actually do some good here
'It's time to get this thing moving,'" Ryan said
"I'm not typically too emotional of a person
To do this a lot and getting to the finish is very exciting."
thousands gather in downtown Oklahoma City each spring — not just to race
What began as a simple training run between friends has grown into a powerful tradition honoring the 168 lives lost in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing
The News 9 documentary Why We Run captures the emotional origin of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and the mission that has carried it forward for more than two decades: to heal
it’s an interesting story because Chet Collier and I were training for what would be my first marathon,” co-founder Thomas Hill said
“I was ranting about the fact that we had to go to another city to run a marathon… [Chet] just stopped in his tracks and he said
we’ll put on a marathon here.’ But it has to be for the memorial.”
That moment marked the beginning of what would become the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon
As the co-founders continued their run that day
they envisioned an event that would take runners through historic parts of the city and finish at the Oklahoma City National Memorial
WATCH OUR FULL SPECIAL: Run To Remember
we had talked through all the things that really make the Memorial Marathon what it is,” Hill said
“The idea of honoring the people who had fallen in the bombing and putting their names along the course — all of that happened on that run.”
Held each spring around the anniversary of the bombing
the race brings thousands of runners and spectators into Oklahoma City
But Why We Run makes clear that the event is more than a race
“There really gets to be a question really quickly — what do you do with that?” Collier said
runners reflect on the emotional weight of the experience
seeing all the names was truly emotional,” one runner said
it feels like Oklahoma just kind of comes together for one
The film also highlights how the marathon connects generations and keeps memories alive
“You have to share it with the next generation,” U.S
And so it’s really incumbent upon those of us that lived in Oklahoma City and lived through that moment to share that experience with them
killed 168 people and injured hundreds more
and the city’s healing process is reflected in every mile of the course
OKC Marathon: Sunday's winners, heartfelt moments, fun along the course
“When I see the starting line and the enormous crowd of people… when we’re all there
I’m just grateful,” co-founder David Hill said
I’m grateful that people are thinking about these people who lost their lives and their families
Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt also emphasized the importance of remembering
“Oklahoma City continues to honor those who were killed and those who survived and those who were changed forever,” Holt said
“but also that we kind of carry the message… to a nation and the world
which understandably tends to forget history a little bit.”

Utah native Tori Parkinson won the 27th Flying Pig Marathon on Sunday in 2 hours
"My training wasn't exactly what I wanted it to be
so I was really happy to feel strong when the later miles kicked in," Parkinson said
opening up a sizable gap by the time she came off the Clay-Wade Bailey Bridge at about mile 4
she had opened up an eight-minute gap on Emma Bell and Daniella Townsend
she mistook some of the female half-marathon leaders as her fellow competitors
It wasn't until the split in Walnut Hills that she realized she was all alone
Despite running by herself for the majority of the race
she clocked an even split of 1:19:41 for the first half and 1:20:25 for the second half

"I would channel some of the runs I've done at home and pictured what those felt like
Playing the mental games through it really helped me the most," Parkinson said
Parkinson raved about the energy on the course
saying it "might be my favorite marathon I've ever done." Her first win at 26.2 miles may have contributed to that feeling
A graduate of Utah State
she has run six marathons including the 2021 Boston Marathon
She also won the 2023 Salt Lake City Half Marathon and the 2024 Hobble Creek Half Marathon
I love seeing the little girls cheering," Parkinson said
Dayton native and 2024 champion Olivia Anger was considered a pre-race favorite to break the tape

Parkinson's time is now the second-fastest women's winning time in race history
Anger previously held that title with a time of 2:43:22
Three-time winner Caitlin Keen has three of the top six winning times
The current trend suggests that Tatyana Pozdnyakova's course record of 2:34:33 could be broken in the near future
"I think women's marathoning is making huge progress right now
There's been a lot more research on what women need
I feel like I'm understanding recovery a lot better and seeing improvements in my own running," Parkinson said
Parkinson turned her attention to her favorite post-race meal of street tacos

She is also focused on qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Trials marathon

She also has her eye on the New York City Marathon

Editor's note: This story has been updated with updated information from the Flying Pig Marathon
Print News that next year’s Los Angeles Marathon and Oscars were double booked for March 15 caused a headache for the organizers of both events
but a solution was reached Thursday and the marathon has agreed to change dates
The 98th Oscars will be held as originally scheduled
according to a statement issued by the Los Angeles Marathon and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
will announce a new March date for the race in the coming days
in future years it will honor the marathon’s tradition of hosting the run on the third Sunday in March
The two organizations brokered the agreement with the assistance of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and agreed to work together to promote each other’s events “to benefit the greater Los Angeles community,” according to the statement
chief operating officer of the McCourt Foundation
told The Times that it would be logistically impossible to hold both events on the same day
The Oscars is hosted at the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard
It’s simply not feasible for thousands of runners and spectators to pass the theater and then have the area cleaned up and ready to host a red carpet event a few hours later
Both events also require significant road closures
law enforcement deployment and are broadcast by KTLA
The McCourt Foundation announced its 2026 marathon date on March 15 this year. Two days later, the academy published a news release announcing that the 2026 Oscars was also scheduled on March 15.
Reinschreiber was driving home after finishing cleaning up this year’s marathon, eager to rest after successfully executing the huge sporting event, when he learned of the double booking.
“It was confusing and the other thought that went to my mind is there are just no days off in this business,” he said. “It’s one thing after the other.”
Moving a marathon is no easy feat. The event spans a massive chunk of the city and involves more than 25,000 runners, thousands of volunteers, medical personnel, law enforcement and city workers.
“There are two major facilities — Dodger Stadium and Century City — connected by what’s really a 26-mile stage, and the number of people, communities and businesses that are all impacted by a change of date is mind-boggling,” he said. “We are going to have to undergo a significant community awareness program.”
More than 5,000 people have registered for the 2026 Marathon, and they will need to be offered the option of a refund due to the change in date, he said.
While the marathon is typically held on the third Sunday in March, there have been exceptions.
In 2009, it was moved to Memorial Day to reduce disruptions to Sunday churchgoers. It was moved back to March the following year based on community feedback. In 2016, it was held Feb.14, a Sunday, to coincide with the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. Then, in 2021, the event was postponed until November because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Oscars’ date has traditionally been more flexible.

Marathons have a unique way of bringing out the best in humanity
And this special caught-on-camera moment from the Boston Marathon was no exception
Kempton was standing near the finish line of the 26.2-mile mark of the race
when she caught something remarkable on camera
An exhausted competitor suddenly slowed and began struggling to keep himself up
Despite cheers of encouragement from the crowd
That prompted an incredible act of sportsmanship from fellow runner
the Brazilian runner immediately stopped to help
I knew something special was about to happen," said Kempton
"I remember watching two men help carry a woman over the finish line last year
and I was just waiting for someone to stop and help."
And they weren't just for the injured runner
Watch one runner's selfless act of kindness at the Boston Marathon below
"It was an incredible portrayal of humanity
and a beautiful moment to represent the Boston Marathon," said Kempton
After the two runners walked together to the finish line
When asked why the video resonated with over 20 million viewers
"Sometimes people just need a simple reminder of humanity and genuine human kindness
and I think that this video fulfilled that."
