Thank you for recognizing what occurred at mile 21 of the race and for straight up saying it was wrong. It needs to be recognized that this was pure racism and must stop. Boston must do better, we all must do better.

Ali keep Sharing your voice, your love, and your passion. ♥️♥️

YOU, Ali, ramp up the Boston Marathon to the next level of running interest and information, while blasting the FUN factor of it all. Godspeed at Eugene!

Loved this recap so much, particularly because of your raw honesty about your feelings. I especially appreciated your comments about Mile 21 - and saying you were doing more listening this time and acknowledging that that may be frustrating to some. I say that because I was frustrated that some people had not been speaking up right away - but after reading your comments, I thought, “ok, maybe THEY also are taking a moment to listen … we don’t do enough of that.” You indeed are respected, and I know your voice will be heard today and in the future. Thank you

I loved reading your recap! You are awesome and so great at all do you! I was so sad to miss the show (and the race) because of stinky pneumonia! But I loved watching and following along!!💙💛💙💛

Thank you for commenting on Mile 21. I hope the B.A.A. does better. Their response was mediocre at best. I know Pioneers & TrailblazHers are committed to seeing this through. I was at your Saturday night show and it was a BLAST! I can’t believe there’s no recording🤯, I guess your rabbit ears looks even crazier now 🥓🤪

I take your input seriously on what happened at mile 21. Not being there myself, I could be pulled either way as I do get skittish when people run out on the course. Having just typed that, I realize that yes, people DO run out on the course. Thanks for using your voice and speaking out. ❤️
