Colin Bennie
Colin Bennie’s strength speaks for itself: he has two top-10 finishes as the US Olympic Marathon Trials, a sub-2:10 marathon PR, and finished as the top American at the 2021 Boston Marathon. At the beginning of 2023, he signed on with Brooks, moved to California, and started training with a new coach, all in order to maximize his potential in the marathon.
