I’ll never forget racing the Tokyo Marathon. Coming back after living in Japan for two years on my mission made it extra special. I love the people, the culture, and everything that makes Japan such an incredible place. It felt amazing to return, reconnect with old memories, make new friends, and run through a place that means so much to me.
Excited to come away with a big PR and momentum for the next one. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on, and to @tokyomarathonfoundation for an unforgettable experience.

@casey_clinger on his half marathon debut at the Houston Half with a HUGE PB and third all-time best half marathon for an American 🇺🇸. His time of 59:34 is only 17 seconds off his teammate, @connermantz (who currently holds the American half marathon record). Casey is also the third American to run under 60 minutes on a record-eligible course.

NUMBER 3 ALL-TIME 👏
@casey_clinger ’s half marathon debut goes incredibly well, as the 27-year-old runs 59:34 for fifth place at the 2026 Houston Half Marathon.
Along with Conner Mantz’s American record, BYU coaching guru Ed Eyestone has now guided two of the three fastest half marathoners in U.S. history.

2:16:05 at @chimarathon today. Finished 26th. Really tough day. But this is a place to start and the next one will be better.
Ran the first 20 miles with my best buddies @aidan_troutner and @20_creed which was a total blast.
So grateful for my family and friends who always support me. You are the best🫶
