And this year, Matt absolutely killed it running the New York City Marathon over the weekend.
Matt ran the race in an extremely impressive 3 hours and 46 minutes, which was faster than many other celebrities who ran the race, including Ashton Kutcher, Chelsea Clinton, Ellie Kemper, and fellow Bachelor Nation star Zac Clark.
And while Matt’s time was extremely impressive, he took to Instagram to share that it wasn’t his best and thanked his teammate, Olympic medalist Shalane Flanagan, for staying by his side the entire marathon.
