Matt James & Zac Clark Support Each Other During the 2022 Boston Marathon
Another one!
Bachelor Nation stars Matt James and Zac Clark both ran the New York Marathon in November 2021, and now they’ve just crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon.
Both Matt and Zac ran for good causes, with Matt running to raise money for the United Service Organizations and Zac ran for his nonprofit, the Release Recovery Foundation.
The Bachelor Nation stars both ran the 26.2 miles in less than four hours, with Matt crossing the finish line in 03:49:38 and Zac completing the race in 03:43:46.
The two met up by the finish line after the race and took some photos together.
The official Boston Marathon account captures of a video of Zac and Matt hugging it out and celebrating their impressive times.
Matt took to Instagram to and shared photos from the marathon, writing, “I love Boston! Thank you @theuso for allowing me to represent you all today in the @bostonmarathon. I haven’t ever had that much fun running, y’all made this one special #BostonStrong”

Zac also posted from his ninth marathon, writing, “Boston is STRONG. Yesterday once again proved the power of good people coming together to do a good thing. Nothing is more powerful than community and the City of Boston proved that again yesterday, on Patriots Day. Thank you to the @bostonmarathon and the thousands of volunteers who made it all possible, it starts and ends with you.”
Many of Matt and Zac’s fellow Bachelor Nation stars took to the comments of their posts to share their congrats.
