The Rundown: Kelvin Kiptum's Legacy, Canadians Stand Out at Millrose Games, and Olympic Marathoner Ben Preisner Joins

The Shakeout Podcast

Canadian Running staff writer Marley Dickinson joins host David Stol to discuss the rich legacy left behind by the late Kelvin Kiptum. Just months removed from his incredible world-record marathon time of 2:00.35 at the Chicago Marathon, Kiptum and his coach, Gervais Hakizimana, passed away in a car crash this past weekend. We celebrate his indelible impact on distance running, the tributes made by major figures in the community, and our favourite memories from his trio of record-breaking marathons.

Later, we break down all of the action from Canadian athletes at the Millrose Games before being joined by Olympic marathoner, Ben Preisner, to recap his most recent race in Japan's Beppu-Ōita Marathon, where he became the second-fastest Canadian marathoner with a time of 2:08:58.
