US Half Marathon Controversy, Ironman’s Camera Crackdown & Tokyo Marathon Fireworks

US Half Marathon Controversy, Ironman’s Camera Crackdown & Tokyo Marathon Fireworks

This week on The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth unpack one of the most dramatic weeks in running so far this year.

We start in Tokyo, where the first World Marathon Major of 2026 delivered a blistering three-man sprint finish and a stunning women’s course record performance.

Then we dive into the chaos at the US Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta, where a lead vehicle reportedly took a wrong turn — costing Jess McClain a national title and a potential automatic World Championships spot.

Plus:

  • Ironman bans on-course photography, phones, GoPros, and wearable camera glasses — is this about safety or squeezing athletes into buying official photos?

  • Olympic superstar Eileen Gu’s surprisingly strong running résumé

  • Honoring the legacy of Jeff Galloway, 1972 Olympian and pioneer of the run-walk method

It’s a packed episode covering controversy, brilliance, and legacy in the running world.

Follow the show for weekly deep dives into the biggest stories in running.
