- It took me a long time to qualify and another long time to finally earn a bib for Boston. But this year, I finally did it. There isn't another race that's like this, and I now understand why people keep coming back, year after year.

So glad you got us at 20.5K!!! Go Kofuzi Run Club!!!
Thanks so much for the support!!!
Thanks for being out there Michael.
@@kofuzi we got so much positive feedback on Monday. You built a good community.
Thanks for being there with the sign! It gave me a little boost when I was trying to figure out if it was going to be a good day or a bad day.😅
That was a fantastic finish, Ko. I was feeling it with you. Great video. Looking forward to the complete breakdown. You were really thinking through the hills. Congratulations.
Beautiful effort. Be proud. 35 years from now you're going to watch this video and remember the day like it was yesterday. Stand tall.
I like this
> you're going to watch this video
Probably not on RUclips anymore, if the BAA and the SeriousRunner have anything to say about it :D
Well done, inspiring video!! I'm downloading this video...
great comment!
Agreed.
@@AndreiDamian Knowing Mike's background he probably already made arrangements and got approval. Hense donating all revenue to a charity from this video.
This is the closest I’ve seen to capturing the magic of running the Boston Marathon. Whether you qualify or raise money for charity to get in, the work is worth it.
yes yes yes
when you can’t run with your legs, run with your heart! Good job!🎉
indeed
What an inspiration! I'm still trying to lower my times and struggling but videos like this keep me motivated to keep going for that next goal.
keep going
Suffering is a mandatory part of life. It test your mind, body, and spirit. You suffered, you were tested, and you were not found to be lacking. Legend!
Shut up legs... Just Run!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Congrats Mr. Ko... Superb 3.03 🏅... Motivation for us... 🤜🏼🤛🏼
thank you 🙏
Love the self talk 💪🏼
I couldn’t look away the whole video. Your grit and determination is inspiring. I’m planning on running my first marathon for my 26th birthday this year and this really hyped me up. Thank you and way to go!
good luck with your training!
Well done, congrats! I found myself at 4:47-4:50, I'm the guy on the right in my baby blue raincoat standing on a step-stool at 30k spotting for our club runners in the rain and turning around and shouting to everyone under the yellow Somerville Road Runners tent that someone was coming, lol. Well done, can't wait to hear your take on the race and the course.
thanks for being out there! we needed you!
I Genuinly have no words, what a run!! Absolutely incredible video, you captured the day so well!
All the running influencers crushed it, including you, Mr. 2:40!
hope I can see you out on this course sometime soon
I love that editor Ko put the Kofuzi Run Club sign at his finishing time 3:04, so that all comments referencing that time would link back to the Haneys holding the sign and cheering all the Kofuzians. Next level. Also appreciate the Bandit Running Co. hat and singlet given the rebellious filming and publishing of this video.
I will have to admit that it was unintentional, but I love that it worked out that way.
the universe works in mysterious ways
This is so beautiful I watched it on the treadmill in Vietnam.
Michael u r such a inspiration to all athletes and specially all runners!nothing but love 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!
Bravo kofuzi 👏👏👏you did a great job 💥💥💥
thank you
Amazing video and truly inspirational. Thank you adding the donation for the policing equality.
it is the least I can do
I happened to click on this while sitting in the parking lot and dreading a 4 hr swim/bike workout for half Ironman. Thanks for the motivation and reminder of why we do this stuff!
hope you have a great swim!
I always wondered how much faster Kofuzi would be able to run without having to hold a camera and a pole? Doing a marathon while filming and talking? 🤯
some things are more important than a race result
And needing to talk
@@kofuzi what matters is the process 👍
@@liiou4445 indeed! Watching the process, the struggles, and the camaraderie inspires me (and us all) to continue to get out there and work hard!!! 🙌🏻
Congrats! Huge accomplishment Ko
This is the best video. I was in tears feeling the joy, excitement, the struggle. How you self talked and your team mate helping. Gives me hope to one day to be able to run myself. Congrats to you!!!
Knowing where you started and how you got there is amazing
Thank you for understanding me
Congratulations ❤❤❤❤ You are the GOAt with that kit. Love it.
Amazing effort my friend. Every race we learn something... thanks for taking us along with you. This is such a privilege!!! Great video man. As always
thanks Suzie!
Sooooo awesome to watch this and remember it all again!! You had me in tears turning down Boylston from the emotion of that moment!! You know you will finish and can see the end!! Great work toughing it out after your body had said you were done! I know you're coming back for another 🦄 💛💙
Thank you for another awesome video Michael!!!👏👏👏
the finish is as powerful as they say
Absolutely crushed it Mike, and the video captured every essence of the atmosphere and amazing support from the crowd! I hope Chicago treats me as well in October when I come over for my first marathon👍
Hope to see you in Chicago!
Great job!
I was running as well and I saw myself in the background towards the beginning of the race lmao
Hope you had a great race!
Hello Kofuzi, thank you for taking me to the Boston Marathon. Greetings from the capital of Germany 🎉
thanks for coming along with me
dammit! the end of this video had me more emotional than the Tokyo marathon. Props to you man!! Just began my running journey seriously and am looking to complete the Houston half marathon at the end of October and videos like these keep me pushing and aiming higher. You are a beast.
Good luck with your training!
@@kofuzi appreciate it!
Cousin Ko what an effort you put in during those wet conditions. Thank you for putting this video together and the link to donate.
thanks for watching!

Great job! Loved seeing the rawness and fight to finish. Congratulations!
Oof. This was a tough one
3:04 holding a camera, amazing effort!
LOVE that singlet by the way! (my last name is Hill)
Congrats! Natick, Framingham, Wellesley, Boston College, Newton, Commonwealth Ave, Fenway, Boston Public Library… you just brought back so much memory to me. Here’s hoping I get to go back and run Boston some day.
It’s quite the ride
That was awesome!! Amazing job!
thank you!
I've run twice in Boston and I know the feeling! It's so hard yet rewarding. Congratulations!
thank you!
Watching content and learning from runners like you really helped me in my journey to running my first half this week. Hoping to run my first full marathon next year! Thanks for all the great content and congrats on your race 🎉
Congratulations on your first half! Hope you had a great race!
Thank you for making this video. This is an inspiration to us who aim to run Boston one day. Congratulations! Can't wait for your next race. For now, recover well and enjoy that celebratory beer!
Just so emotional 🥹 the video that makes me feel that I wanna earn that race so badly 🤩congratulations Michael! Great race!!
And thanks for your videos!!
emotions were at a high level throughout this entire course. it was remarkable
amazing Mike, that was so tough, the memory will be stronger for it. those conditions were tough and the back end really bites. So hard but so rewarding. we spoke briefly at the BitR shakeout, great to see you - love what you do
I’m happy we were able to meet up!
You’ve got this👍👍
Amazing. congrats. Boston is a great race. Unfortunately, I havent done any USA marathon since my 2013 Edition, the year of the bomb.😢
Very cool experience! Showed some real grit those last few miles.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Congrats Ko. Thanks for showing the real ups and downs of marathon racing. Great video. This is inspiring for my marathon coming in a few weeks.
Big congratulations!! Thank you for showing us the struggles but also your push to continue. Tony seems like a great friend!!
I wouldn't have made it without him
With the signature dry heave at the end! Great work. It's crazy how much travel and racing you are able to do!
I’m very lucky to have so much support at home
Such a great video getting the spirit from Boston and how you really made it with your friend!! So emotional and could really sense the feeling!!
Thanks so much!
Great effort good job 👏👏👏💪🏃♂️💥
Congrats Mike! Awesome race! I’ve been looking forward to the Kofuzi Run Club Boston Edition for 4 years now. Team Hawaii and I had a great time there. Thank you to you and Rabbit for hosting the event. Btw, my sister won the final Rabbit flannel shirt.
so glad to see you again! thanks for the singlet!
Fantástico !!
What an amazing footage Kofuzi, you should be so proud of your achievements. Thank you for sharing them with us!
thank you for coming along with me
Those conditions were pretty brutal out there yesterday. That was my first Boston. The hills were definitely something to contend with. My legs were absolutely shot at the end. Good job on the 304 you nick me by 2 minutes I put in a 306 which is a PR for me.
congrats on the PR!!
I was out there cheering you guys on, so proud of every runner! So inspired. Such an amazing experience to see 🤍🙌🏼
Thanks for being out there!
Congratulations!!!🎉
Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉 What a great friend you had.
Tony was a godsend
Absolutely remarkable Kofuzi. Well done. 🎉🥳👏
thank you!
Congrats Ko! So amazing to see you run this race in my home town!
Boston is like nothing else on this weekend
the climax as you approach the finish line...epic
there's no finish like it
Of all your videos, this resonated with me on a deeply profound and spiritual level. I salute you!
thank you for watching
Congrats Kofuzi. You've inspired me to become a Running RUclipsr 💪💪💪
go for it!
Congrats! Thanks for showing me in 2020 how to get my spin bike on Zwift. 🙂
Yo, we’ve been through a lot together, haven’t we!
Way to be mentally strong!!!!!!! It always starts with the mind
It was a struggle
Thank you for bringing us along for the run cousin Ko and great job showing grit and resilience on a tough course in crazy conditions. I can’t wait for your feedback on the “Pimps and Playas wear white” Prime X Strung and race breakdown 🤜🏾🤛🏼
hahahaha!
Congratulations. The weather was perfect. My best Boston ever. You ran well Mike
great job!
Congrats!!! Cant wait to hear your review on the Adidas Strung...
a lot of fun. I would have liked a little different towards the end of the race
@@kofuzi too much shoe??
I love this so much. You had grit and powered through the tough times and finished well. Congrats! Thank you for making an epic video of my hometown marathon. The music had me tearing up 🥹
thanks Aliza!
Maratona é sobre isso, força e coragem em não desistir mesmo no limite! Parabéns 👍🏻
thank you!
Awesome video! I hope you do Boston again next year!
I don't anticipate running this race again, although I certainly plan on returning for this weekend
If i watched a video with you flying to the end it would be nice. But this... This valuable my friend! The effort, the struggle, your (running😀) demons whispering you to quit! Oh boy! Such a great video and inspiration! The true spirit of marathon. Respect and all the best from Greece and i hope someday, we 'll see a video from our Athens Authentic marathon.
I'd love to go back to the source someday
Brilliant, as ever, thank you. So intense.
So awesome!! Huge congrats, Mike🦄

Good job! How did you edit the video via software? I also use my Go Pro 10 during my running at the race. :D Thank you so much!
final cut
I don’t know how you can run with a camera for a marathon! Congratulations on finishing!
it's mostly held in my hand like a track baton. the filming part is very little
Epic as always!!
thanks Chris!
Hope I can also get BQ-ed in this year's tunnel marathon. You are my motivation!
that's where I got my first BQ
