Grandma's Marathon 2023: Heat Takes Biggest Toll on Runners.

Heat and humidity, not air quality, posed the biggest challenge for runners at the 47th Grandma's Marathon and the 33rd Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon. The medical tent treated around 200 race participants, with heat-related illness being the most common issue. A world record was set for the fastest marathon pushing a wheelchair, and the nonbinary division winners were awarded prize money for the first time. Joel Reichow was the lone Minnesotan to claim victory in the men's Bjorklund title.

Boston Marathon Embraces Nonbinary Athletes Amid Anti-Trans Legislation and Community Focus.

The 2023 Boston Marathon will feature a nonbinary division for the first time, with 27 runners registered. The Boston Athletic Association has been praised for its allyship in creating the division, which has been seen as a sanctuary amid a rise of anti-trans legislation. Cal Calamia, one of the runners, has been advocating for gender inclusivity in races and sees the nonbinary division as a way to make running more inclusive. The BAA settled on making the nonbinary qualification times equal to the female qualification times, and the nonbinary field will be treated like the male and female genders.
