In episode 952 of Coffee with Larry, broadcast on 20 October 2026, the podcast announces a focus on several marathon-related topics. The first concerns the “Road to LA 2028”, presented as already underway for American marathoners.

Larry also points out that registration for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon 2027 is open “NOW”, with a date set for 10 October 2027. He mentions, alongside it, a “Special Registration” that remains available until 14:00, Central Time, on 29 October 2026.

The podcast also devotes a segment to organising the cross-country race across the Atlantic, citing the “Brooks XC Regionals” as close by, with a registration link redirecting to brooksrunning.com. Larry says he is concerned about the lack of sponsor promotions for the series, citing the role of “Golden Tickets” in generating entries.
