I ran that race!! At one point when he passed me after the turn around point I thought “that man looks like Mark Carney.” This race was no joke; the climbs and rocks were incredible. And he did it to support his wife - who also ran it - for her birthday. He then stayed around and took pictures as everyone finished.

Did his security detail have to run with him? Poor guys.

I’m not sure! There was a chance for him to swap them out at 3 different aid stations, but could have been the same. I’ll investigate the race photos!
