Joe Amabile, Matt James, Zac Clark & More Bachelor Nation Stars Get Impressive Times in NYC Marathon!
Run, Bachelor Nation, run!
Many Bachelor Nation stars have been training for months to run the New York City Marathon and raise money for causes that are important to them.
And Sunday was the big day for these Bachelor Nation runners!
This year, Joe Amabile ran his first marathon with Zac Clark, who ran the NYC Marathon for the ninth year in a row.
Joe and Zac ran to raise money for Zac’s foundation Release Recovery, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring all who are ready and willing to seek professional treatment for substance abuse are able to.
Joe took to Instagram to share his time and wrote, “What a day @nycmarathon! I wanted a sub 4 on my first one and I got a 3:58.”
His wife Serena Pitt commented on the post, “SO PROUD OF YOU ❤️”
Zac also commented on Joe’s post, saying, “Legendary performance. Made an impact too which is even more important. Thank you bro for flying the @releaserecoveryfoundation flag.”
Zac also shared his own photos from the day and wrote, “Thank You, New York City. Ninth consecutive @nycmarathon in the books and it gets better every year.”
Former Bachelor Matt James also ran the race and set a new personal record time.
Alongside photos from race day, he wrote, “I love nyc. What a day! This angel agreed to pace me AGAIN after my.. troubles last year. Race recap coming soon, I love you all - NEW PB: 3:04.”
Matt also shared a recap about the race on Instagram and thanked his coach Shalane Flanagan.
He said, “Every mile was exactly what it needed to be,” and even when he got fatigued, his coach was “constantly checking in” on him, which got him to the finish line.
We love seeing so many of our Bachelor Nation stars accomplishing such incredible feats and raising money for important causes.
Congrats to all the runners!
