The Boston Marathon isn't just a race. It's a weekend. And this is all of it.
Follow me through an incredible few days in Boston — brand appearances, fan interactions, candid moments behind the scenes, and a unique POV look at what it actually takes to show up on one of the biggest stages in distance running.
I ran a personal best on Marathon Monday. And somehow, it still felt bittersweet.
That tension — the pride of running the best race of your life, and the quiet feeling that there was something more out there — is what this film is really about. Boston has a way of doing that to people. Giving you everything, and making you want more at the exact same time.
This is the full story. The energy of the city, the warmth of the fans, the weight of the moment, and an honest look at what it feels like to compete at the highest level when the stakes are real.
