Here’s This Day in Track & Field, for October 19, 2026, from the amazing TF historian, Walt Murphy! Bill Toomey told RBR that he kept a sports bag, his “bag of tricks” , with him at meets. It had spikes, extra clothes, @pedialyte for hydration, and things that might be needed in a decathlon!

The Belfast Classic x Sport Shoes was a lot of fun to watch in 2026. Can’t wait to watch in 2027!

Follow the world’s greatest athletes as they focus on #beijing2027!

The 1974 Commonwealth Games was one of the fastest marathons of its era. Ian Thompson flew over the course, shocking many as his Pb at 10k was just under 30 minutes! The late Jack Foster finished in silver, at the age of 41, in 2:11:18!

Andy Bowman not only won the Detroit Free Press marathon, and set a PB of 2:12:11, he broke the 46 year old course record of the 1983 Boston marathon champ Greg Meyer! This was Andy Bowman’s third win at the #FreepMarathon!

For Clayton Young, #theroadtoLA2028 has begun. His masterful run in Chicago Marathon , taking 7th in 2:05:23 continued his personal journey to his marathon dream. Clayton experienced a 12 cm tear in a hamstring while finishing the Great North Run, just over a month ago. His coach, Ed Eyestone, told me that Clayton’s training block was one of the more challenging that he has mentored., Ed Eyestone and Clayton Young made the final decision three days out, and you can listen, in this interview, that Clayton was well aware of the complexity of his situation in Chicago. The overly enthusiastic vigor of Vinny Mauri over the first 30k set up a fine race for the American marathoners: Young and Charles Hicks followed, Marathons are a crap shoot. Vinny Mauri experienced cramps and battled back, taking 10th in 2:06:46. Clayton Young, a 2024 Olympian, displayed his experience, moving ahead of Mauri and pushing on to seventh in PB 2:05:33, with Charles Hicks in 8th, in 2:05:35 OB! The interview shown was from Friday, October 9, in conjunction with British newspaper. Note how Clayton Yoing gives the media his view of the complexity of his race situation, the challenges of an elite athlete coveting their own story in social media and the juggling of fulfilling the needs of sponsors. Clayton Young did all of those things in his Bank of America Chicago marathon run on October 11, 2026!
