1. Vincent Mauri and his excellent race at the Toledo Glass City Marathon broke the course record by 13 minutes with his 2:05.54. Listen to this interview. This young man is the real thing!

This is a fantastic interview. Vincent Mauri, in my mind, is the real deal. Listen to this interview. This young marathoner could really shake things up for #LA2028. What a wonderful story! A huge debut marathon from the Heartland! Well done, #VincentMauri! Thanks,…
