That capped off a year that also included an eighth-place finish at the USATF Cross Country Championships, followed by a fifth-place finish at the United Airlines NYC Half. He was then second at both the USATF 25K Championships and the Falmouth Road Race, and went on to take fourth at the Great North Run, the world’s largest half marathon.

Fauble’s first trip to New York was in 2016, when he raced to second place in the Abbott Dash to the Finish Line 5K and rode in the lead vehicle for the TCS New York City Marathon to experience the five-borough course. Earlier that year, he qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the marathon and 10,000 meters – finishing fourth at the Trials in the latter – and placed second at the USATF Half Marathon Championships.

Since last competing in New York, Fauble has finished in seventh place twice at the Boston Marathon, in both 2019 and 2022. His time of 2:08:52 this year in Boston was a personal best by 17 seconds and made him the top American finisher.

Born and raised in Colorado, Fauble ran collegiately at the University of Portland, where he made his debut at the half marathon distance during his senior year. Off the roads, he is known for always sharing his musings on the best burritos he can find and is the co-author of Inside a Marathon: An All-Access Pass to a Top-10 Finish at NYC .
