Los Angeles Marathon: March 8, 2026
The 2026 Los Angeles Marathon came down to an exhilarating photo finish. With a sensational burst in his final stride, American Nathan Martin crossed the finish line to win by a mere hundredth of a second over Kenya’s Michael Kamau.
Martin, a 36-year-old high school cross-country coach from Jackson, Michigan, had been trailing Kamau from the start before his stunning last-minute surge.
“Never give up,” Martin said. “Never assume what you’re supposed to be good at. Always test yourself. Always find new opportunities because it’s not necessarily about what you like to do or what feels fun. It’s what you’re good at and what you’re willing to challenge yourself to achieve and accomplish a lot of amazing things.”
Read that again… carefully.
That’s powerful advice!
Even when things seem unachievable… through tenacity, strength, and a belief in yourself, your goals too can be realized.
Look past the noise. Follow a plan. I’m here cheering you on!
