Galen Rupp was so ready to run well in Boston but the weather got in the way, next up Prague!
Galen Rupp was so ready to run a fast time and win Boston Marathon but the weather won out. So now what?
Galen is going to run the 2018 Volkswagen Prague Marathon on May 6, race organizers confirmed today.
Rupp (in the black Nike hat) dropped out of the Boston Marathon just before 20 miles due to breathing problems and hypothermia as a result of the cold, wet, and windy weather.
The course record in Prague is Eliud Kiptanui‘s 2:05:39 from 2010 and the winning time has been under 2:09 in each of the past nine editions of the race.
Rupp’s personal best is 2:09:20, which he ran to win the 2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon in October. Before his DNF in Boston, Rupp had set a personal best in each of his first four career marathons.
