Just watched this story about Duncan Robinson’s brother. I encourage you to do the same. Man 🥹
Makes me realize how little we all know about what everyone is going through around us. I’m pulling for Duncan a little harder tonight.

We’re honored that the Detroit Free Press Marathon has been nominated for Best Marathon in the US by USA TODAY—we’re one of just 20 incredible races selected! Voting is open NOW, and you can vote once a day here: 10best.usatoday.com/awards/t…
This recognition is thanks to our amazing city stakeholders, staff, participants, volunteers, and sponsors who make this race weekend a world-class event. Together, we've turned a marathon into a celebration of Detroit and Windsor's grit, community, and the unique international region we share. Racing through two countries, experiencing the sun rise over the Ambassador Bridge, conquering the International Under Water Mile through the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel, we showcase the vibrancy of the US and Canada like no other race can.
We’re so grateful for every step our community has taken — literally and figuratively. Let’s keep the momentum going: VOTE daily, spread the word, and help us bring this title home to our one-of-a-kind cities!

The new women's marathon world record is equivalent to a woman running...
100m- 10.38
200m- 21.06
400m- 46.77
800m- 1:50.49
Mile- 4:00.97
5k- 13:32
10k- 28:23
400m hurdles- 49.87
It's just pure insanity.
*according to IAAF tables...
