We're getting a rematch of the best race of 2025: Cooper Lutkenhaus v. Donavan Brazier in the 800 at the Pre Classic on July 3. Amazingly, this will be Brazier's first time racing at Pre -- despite being sponsored by Nike since 2016. 📷Kevin Morris letsrun.com/news/2026/05/n…

Track & field's opening day is Saturday! Previewing the top events in Keqiao, including Bednarek v Tebogo in the men's 100, a star-studded women's 200 (Sha'Carri, Shericka, Shaunae), and the Hollingsworth-Hull rematch in the women's 1500. letsrun.com/news/2026/05/2…

Parker Valby is set to run her first outdoor track race as a pro in the 5,000m at the LA Track Fest on May 23. Valby has not raced outdoors since finishing 11th in the 10,000m at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. letsrun.com/news/2026/05/p…

Ahead of Saturday's season opener, LetsRun debated some of the biggest questions of the 2026 Diamond League season. -How will Femke Bol handle the 800? -Which teen phenom has the best year: Gout, Myers, or Lutkenhaus? -Which world records will go down? letsrun.com/news/2026/05/l…

Nearly 2/3rds of our visitors think Rachel Entrekin would beat Sabastian Sawe in a 250 mile race. Do you agree? Article in 1st reply.

The men's 4 x 400 at the World Relays in Botswana was one of the best races of 2026 -- in perhaps the best atmosphere, too. A few thoughts on that race (are those crazy splits right?), the return of Elaine Thompson-Herah, & more from the World Relays: letsrun.com/news/2026/05/e…

Sabastian Sawe's 1:59:30 world record at the London Marathon was incredible. But one part of it may have been too good to be true: he almost certainly did not run his 24th mile in 4:12. letsrun.com/news/2026/05/d…

We hope you try and support your local newspaper. This is an EXCELLENT intro from @DBriggsBlade's recap of Vincent Mauri's unreal 2:05:54 marathon in Toledo.

If they didn't allow 'banned' shoes to be used in the marathon, Rojo's no sub-2 prediction would be right on the money. letsrun.com/news/2026/04/t…

What happened in London on Sunday? On this week's LRC podcast, we try to make sense of the 2026 London Marathon and the end of the quest to break one of the great barriers in sport. Plus thoughts on Vinny Mauri's 2:05 in Toledo & the Penn Relays drama. podcast.letsrun.com/episode/93b7f7…

It snuck up on us quickly. One moment he was on 2:01 flat pace and then suddenly he'd run 1:59:30.

@selldit @Predamame Thanks for the defense. Get back to us when someone does it with year 2013 shoe tech.

@Predamame The founder of Letsrun and zone 2 training (before it had a cool name) who is also the only reason Paula Radcliffe broke a world record got one wrong?

Revisiting this one

One of the great barriers in all of sports has fallen -- officially, this time. With incredible splits - a 4:12 24th mile! a 59:01 second half! - Sabastian Sawe won the London Marathon in 1:59:30. The first man under two hours in an official race. Story: letsrun.com/news/2026/04/1…

The ecstasy of victory!! Women's only WR in London for Tigst Assefa. 2:15:41. Obiri 2nd in 2:15:53, Jepkosgei 2:15:55. letsrun.com/forum/flat_rea…

London men's pace HOT!!! 60:29 at halfway. Sawe is making his move. Kejelcha going with him in his debut. Discuss here: letsrun.com/forum/flat_rea…

It once was said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." We can debate the validity of that but it's certainly worth the following 10: "2nd place was calling and I had to hang up." letsrun.com/forum/flat_rea…

Simeon Birnbaum on denying Marco Langon on the anchor leg for the DMR title: '2nd place was calling and I had to hang up.' 49.9- 50.0 last lap!!!
