"If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready. Maude Mathys (Switzerland) won the event's 24-mile race last weekend and doubled back to champion this one over almost 35 miles, too. The race gained 7,874 feet of elevation, and Mathys finished way out front in 5:03. Robyn Lesh (U.S.) collapsed across the finish second in 5:26, and Yan Lei (China) was third in 5:31. Second in last weekend's 24 miler, Naiara Irigoyen (Spain) was fourth in 5:31, and Tara Dower (U.S.) was fifth in 5:43."
"California International Marathon - Sacramento, California The point-to-point race runs with a net downhill, which makes it a hot spot for fast times. Men needed to run better than 2:16:00 and women faster than 2:37:00 to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. Men Christian Allen finished third in 2:09:57. That bettered his former 2:10:32 marathon best from the Houston Marathon in January 2025. The 50k world record-holder CJ Albertson helped to pace a group of men to Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying times and was 38th in 2:14:56. Makai Clemons dipped under that Olympic Marathon Trials time too with a 2:15:26 run. Clemons won the San Diego 100 Mile in 2023."
Guang-Fu Meng (China) stopped Rui Ueda (Japan) from repeating as men's winner in Chiang Mai, finishing in 4:31 to Ueda's 4:35, with Hayden Hawks (U.S.) edging Coleman Cragun (U.S.) by five seconds for third in 4:38. Maude Mathys (Switzerland) won both a 24-mile race and an almost 35-mile race that gained 7,874 feet of elevation, finishing the longer event in 5:03; Robyn Lesh (U.S.) was second in 5:26 and Yan Lei (China) third in 5:31. In 2015 Mathys received a warning without suspension for two positive clomifene tests after it was determined she had taken the drug mistakenly without a World Anti-Doping Agency Therapeutic Use Exemption. The California International Marathon's net downhill produced Olympic Trials qualifying times: Christian Allen ran 2:09:57, CJ Albertson paced to 2:14:56, and Makai Clemons ran 2:15:26.
