Our editor Michael Doyle and running legend Amby Burfoot unpack the biggest doping scandal in decades. Ruth Chepngetich, the womenβs marathon world record holder, has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for a banned masking agent. β They break down the evidence, the timeline, and what this means for the future of clean sport, elite marathoning, and womenβs running. Itβs the fallout no one wanted β but everyone needs to hear.
The running world was rocked this week by the provisional suspension of world record holder Ruth Chepngetich.
The result has not only cast a shadow over her astonishing times, it has ignited an outpouring of frustration, heartbreak, and calls for accountability from across the sport.
Eliud Kipchoge is set to race the 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon, joining what is being billed as the deepest elite menβs field ever assembled for a marathon in Australia.
The race will be Sydneyβs first edition as an official Abbott World Marathon Major. β That status has attracted a long list of international athletes, 15 of whom have run faster than the current course record of 2:07:03.
When choosing which ultra-trail race to run first, several factors must be considered, including location, race distance, terrain, altitude, elevation gain, and course type.
Our in-house ultra runner and running coach will guide you through the process of selecting your first ultramarathon and the key components to consider.
