Dumoulin sets personal best marathon time in New YorkFirst and foremost, a dream came true, because the New York Marathon was on his bucket list. \u201cIt was an amazing experience,\u201d he wrote on his social media accounts<\/a> Sunday evening. \u201cI enjoyed every minute of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Dumoulin had to dig deep to beat his 2025 time. \u201cWhat a day\u2026 I\u2019m blessed to have been able to share this with my family. Oh, and a nice personal best of 2:27:12!\u201d That means Dumoulin was 2 minutes and 12 seconds faster.<\/p>\n

People in New York had better watch out for a Dutchman and his family on Monday and Tuesday. \u201cI\u2019ll be weaving my way through the streets of New York instead of walking for the next two days, but it was worth it,\u201d Dumoulin concluded with a laugh.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
