  • Thomas Broatch - CAN


    MARATHON PB - 2:10:35

    Thomas has excelled on flat, fast courses—winning the 2023 Canadian Championships at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon before producing back-to-back top-10 finishes at the Chevron Houston Marathon in 2024 and 2025. At 26 years old, he is one of the best up-and-coming Canadian marathoners and a serious candidate to make his nation’s 2028 Olympic team.

  • Johannes Motschmann - adidas | GER


    MARATHON PB - 2:10:39

    Johannes made his marathon debut in 2020, running 2:14:38 in Vienna, Austria. Since that time he’s continued to improve, eventually running 2:11:30 at the 2023 Tokyo Marathon and 2:10:39 at the TCS London Marathon in 2024. He’s also raced in the United States a number of times including at the 2025 Aramco Houston Half Marathon where he ran a personal best of 1:01:03.

  • JP Flavin - Hansons Brooks | USA


    MARATHON PB - 2:10:50

    JP has asserted himself as yet another in a long line of great Hansons Brooks marathoners. A top-50 performer at the NCAA Cross Country Championships for NC State, JP joined the Hansons after graduating and has steadily improved across all distances. The marathon seems to be his sweet spot though—having run 2:12:34 at the 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon and posting back-to-back top-20 finishes at the Boston Marathon.

  • Josh Izewski - ZAP Endurance | USA


    MARATHON PB - 2:10:54

    After a successful career as a distance runner at the University of Florida where he was an All-SEC performer, Josh dedicated himself to the triathlon for a number of years post-collegiately—producing several top-five finishes. He eventually returned to running where he’s become a top U.S. road racer, competing for ZAP Endurance in Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

  • Colin Mickow - USA


    MARATHON PB - 2:11:22

    Colin finished 12th at The Marathon Project 2020 in a personal best of 2:11:22.

A financial analyst by day, Colin still manages to put in weeks of up to 150 miles in order to prepare for his marathons.
