That was one crazy half-marathon

Listen now 👆 to our Instant Reaction Podcast for today’s highly entertaining (and record-setting) 2020 World Athletics Half Marathon Championships

In our latest pod we unpack two massive races from Gdynia, Poland at the 2020 World Athletics Half Marathon Championships. The women's race saw a women's-only world record by Peres Jepchirchir, as well as lots of drama (including a couple of crazy falls that totally altered the race).

The men's race featured a young breakout star from Uganda make a dominant entrance onto the world stage (and his name isn’t Joshua Cheptegei).

We also explain why Canada, the U.S., Japan and other nations were a no-show at this rather controversial event.


Re-watch the race

Missed all the  action?  Watch our live podcast, featuring an embedded stream of much of both the races right here on our Facebook page.

Oh, and we now have our very own standalone home for The XC, conveniently located at thexc.org (just like our social media handles). We’ll be telling you more about that in an upcoming newsletter, along with another surprise we’re quite excited about — but in the meantime go on over and take a look. A lot of big, positive changes coming for The XC in the coming days and weeks!

Thanks for listening and for supporting what we do!
