    Literally my favourite UA-cam videos are the runners weekend ones. Always so well done 👏🏽 Thank you. Just applied for a guaranteed place so fingers crossed I’m accepted and be there in 2025. The virtual experience was great though 🥳

    I enjoyed my first world marathon major - Chicago Marathon 2024. Shame that I didn't do much research to locate the events you had planned to attend, but wala - saw you cheering for all the runners at 38K - ish. Finally saw my favourite UA-camr in Chicago! Managed to pick up my pace in the most difficult part of the race. thank you for being there for all of us!

    I've been a runner for years, and I finally participated in my first race today, thanks to you. Seeing all the fun you have at races and the encouragement you give to your fellow runners inspired me. I'm training for my first marathon, so my time wasn't the best, but I had so much fun just being there. Thank you for giving me the courage to do something outside my comfort zone.

    Hi Kofuzi, thank you so much for this video.
    I was suppose to run CHI this year but missed it due to a surgery and visa issues. Decided to defer it.
    After watching this video, it just made me a bit sad on how awesome CHI2024 is and that I missed it. But at the same time, this inspired me to push thru for CHI2025. Thank you for the inspiration. I got teary eyes after watching this vid. Thank you.

    Crazy they didn't grant you better press creds in your home race. UA-cam is the new media, and the choice of the people. The world needs to catch up. Great work, regardless!

    • @kofuzi
      @kofuzi  Місяць тому +1

      I have a theory that most races believe that, as long as the old school press corps isn’t grumpy or grumbling, the press conference is a success.
      That’s why there is now a segregated “new media” zone at a lot of big track meets. It keeps new media away from legacy media and out of the mix zone.

    Awesome footage. It was my 3rd Chicago marathon. My best moment was meeting Emily Sisson at the Skyline tent and I asked her to wish me good luck before the race and she did, she said “you got this”.

    How far did you end up running filming this - must have been a marathon in itself! How does someone find out about the various events, pop-ups, shakeout runs etc? Looks like a lot of fun and hard work, ty.

    Hello Mr. Kofuzi. I just got the email that I have been accepted at Chicago Marathon 2025. I am from Pakistan and I love your videos.
    I really hope I get to see you next year IA and hopefully get to run with you in one of your shakeout runs.
    I am watching you Chicago Marathon Runner's Weekend to enjoy this moment.
    Love you

    Don't worry about not making it in and having limited media access. The CEO of LetsRun (4chan of the running world) had press conference access and, as expected of someone who runs a site like that, he callously asked "that" question that got him in hot water with the Kenyan parliament. It's better not to be associated with people like that.

      The pre-race press conference afforded a few minutes with the athletes, career fair style, and I would have liked to have gotten a few words from some of the athletes to pair with their race footage
