I was hired by Runner’s World Magazine to photograph Nike’s “Breaking 2” event at the Monza international racetrack. I also shot the exclusive cover for the June issue.

Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya, the 2016 Olympic marathon champion, almost broke the 2 hour mark. He finished with a time of 2:00:25, 1 second per mile too slow. Zersenay Tadese, world record-holder in the half marathon, finished with a time of 2:06:51. Lelisa Desisa, a two-time Boston Marathon winner, had a bad day and finished with a time of 2:14:10.
