This past Sunday we lost a legend. Kelvin Kiptum, the fastest marathoner of all-time, and his coach Gervais Hakizimana, died in a car crash outside of Eldoret, Kenya.
By the age of 24, Kelvin had established himself as one of the best endurance runners in history. His world record setting 2:00:35 performance at the 2023 Chicago Marathon was simultaneously the best marathon performance in history and a foreshadowing of the brilliance to come.
In this tribute episode Tommie Runz, Marcus Brown, Peter Bromka, Lindsey Hein, and Matt Chittim discuss Kelvin's historic performances, his legacy, and the ways in which he inspired all of us and will continue to do so for generations.
