- Why did Rosie Ruiz CHEAT the 1980 Boston Marathon?
On April 21 1980, Rosie Ruiz was awarded first place female at the Boston Marathon. 8 days later, she was stripped of that title after it was declared that she had cheated, and in fact had only run the final mile of the race.
40 years later, I wanted to understand how and why did Rosie Ruiz cheat the Boston Marathon?
My sincere thanks to writer Will Cockerell and broadcaster Toni Reavis for their authority and input on this fascinating story.

Well, that was incredible. Great storytelling. Bravo, well done.
Funny how we remember her name but not the real winner.
Who remembers on Fresh Prince when Geoffrey ran the marathon but got caught taking a cab to the finish line? Geoffery Butler- THE SHAME OF A NATION!
Running a mile feels like a marathon to me too.
I've always been a little fascinated about this story. I'm a little surprised she never came clean. I learned as a child that lying is SO exhausting. She could never pull that off today.
As an amateur marathon runner myself, the idea of cheating like this makes me angry beyond measure. The best part of finishing a marathon is not the congratulations, but the knowledge that you did it, that you actually ran 26.2 miles. I can't imagine cheating and lying about it like this, the whole time knowing you didn't do it
Liars caught in a large lie, tend to dig in further into their lie. They rarely fess up and admit they have lied.
What a well put together mini doc. Bravo
A similar story of cheating occurred in the 1968 solo yacht race around the world. The cheater, Donald Crowhurst, had also not intended to win, with all the scrutiny that would entail, but the leading boat broke its mast on the final leg, and Crowhurst's trimaran 'The Teignmouth Electron' slipped into first place, with Crowhurst descending into stress-induced madness. The film 'Deep Water' is a fascinating look at a family man in desperate circumstances, trying to avoid financial ruin, with an unsuitable boat, who gambled his life and reputation, and lost them both.
Ruiz died a few years back, I heard, and she stuck to her story right to the end.
If she had waited another 20 minutes and crossed in
I RAN BOSTON THAT YEAR. I ran qualifying times other years; but not that year. But, I was in the area and so went there and ran it. Highlights: 1) Pre-race, I went 1/4 mile up the course and took a picture of "Boston" Bill Rodgers going by; (then jogged back to the start line and started running from last place.
I have a fascination with famous liars. My favorites are Elizabeth Holmes, Tania Head, and Rosie Ruiz
This is the best video I've seen on The Marathon Cheater. Too long, straight to the details
I just want to clarify - did they ever acknowledge Jacqueline Gareau in any way??? It would be so nice to see them do a formal recognition even now. If Jacqueline Gareau is on the record books, did they give her a medal and a wreath at any point? The prizes aren't so important, but I'm curious. Thank you for an interesting documentary - very well done.
BRAVO... that is the best video about Rosie Ruiz I've seen, and your emphasis on compassionate understanding rather than superior judgement is an example to us all!!!! I'm extremely moved!!! I'm so happy to subscribe and check out more of your channel!!!
A great & interesting video Harry - thank you.
I remember standing at the corner of Hereford St and Boylston and noticing the ADIDAS shirt and thinking “no serious runner wears that.”
I love the editing! Well done sir!
Wasn’t aware of this particular cheater. Great mini doc.
