Colin Bennie
Brooks Athlete

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.

“My coach told me that each and every marathon training block and race, regardless of the result, that we come out as a better runner. I think that has been tremendously helpful.”
