Rojo says he might start a Kip Litton thread but only 1 and only 1 thread

Does anyone know where Kip's splits can be found for Boston 2008 & Boston 2009?

I wonder if the 2:58 at Boston 2007 was legit? Is that under suspicion or only the later ones?

I've just looked through 50 pages of the photos taken at 30K, one photo at a time, no joy. What's the deal with virtually nobody running in their club vest and the fad for having the race number on the shorts?

The Power House Gym address is 6475 Sashabaw Road. If you follow your Google street map you can see it on the SW corner.

The pace, etc is displayed on the LED console of each treadmill.

I have a couple buds that workout there too, so I spread the word to keep an eye out for him.

Here he is in 2009 at 30k

Gray shirt with black logo seems the same as the one he is wearing at 2009 Northville MI solstice run

Bib not visible

Black loose fit running pants (who runs a sub 3 in those?!)

Mirrored sunglasses

Baseball hat

Bib #1338 next to him finished in 3:13:42.

Guess Kip had some fresh legs to put 20 min on that guy over the last 12K.

Or did he jump the course again in the last 12K?

Great find!

At most gyms, treadmill power cords are usually run directly underneath them with no easy way to unplug them. Unless this is one of those gyms that runs the cord to a wall. I still don't believe your story.

The more pics you find makes me believe less that he cheated, not more. Wouldn't it be better to say we searched the whole race and found NO pics?

Not when he looks like THAT in the pics. THAT being, shady as hell (no bib visible, and wearing long pants when every other runner in the shot is wearing shorts).

I can't remember seeing him crossing any finish line in pants like that, but is often wearing them on the course. Poor guy, it must take him nearly 35km into a race before he warms up enough to ditch the extra layers. Lol.

Guys, Check the bottom of this link. I added just some extra pics of Kip Litton at the BAA 5K 2010, the classic one where he came across the finish in 17:17 despite a 4:04 start. (Nothing really new here, just a few more pics I found of Kip that I found by looking up some of the 21min 5K'ers he was running stride for stride with ...)

As you can see in those BAA 2010 5k pics just posted at the bottom of the page, it looks like Kip pulls up the blue windbreaker enough so the bib number is showing. It also might end up helpful later on just to have these pics for comparison of things

Bottom corner of page 30. I cannot find results with bib numbers to check where he was relative to his finish time.

Great find. Thank you.

Someone mentioned to me that one can email the BAA and get race splits sent to you on a card for past Boston Marathons. Would it be possible to check on this for Kip at Boston 2007-2009?

Go here to find finish times 2001-2010 (no splits though)

enter bib number at bottom

#2426 finished in 3:04:33

Kip "finished" in 2:58:45

fwiw:

Boston 2009 nearby runners:

1572 - 3:05:20

2571 - 3:30:23

3261 - 3:04:57

Boston 2007

2737 - 2:57:46

2426 - 3:04:53

The picture with sweatpants on in the middle of a non-freezing marathon is odd to say the least. Number hidden and not in plain view.

Great picture of the woman 4422 in the 5K gritting her teeth and gutting it out to outrun the person of interest at the tape as she finished her 21 min 5K. The "reveal" at the 5K is also consistent with many other photos.

Also good close up of red bandada - cant recall if that was part of other picture sequences involving the "second runner" theory.

Serious question: Are there any "official" race photos in which Kip is not looking down? He is always looking straight ahead at the end of races. But anything photographed from the middle of the race shows him absolutely staring at his shoes. Obviously he knows he is at risk of disqualification every time he steps on the course... I'm just not sure how he imagines that not looking at the cameras is going to matter one way or the other.

2500? Unbelievable!

could purchase a photo to see more detail of clothing and facial features, etc. Race photographers' websites let you zoom in some if you want to crop a photo so that's pretty much what we do then take a screenshot.

apologize if violating racephoto copyright to take these proofs for the SOKLR blog but perhaps make an exception for Mr. Litton as the running community needs to know the truth that Litton's conduct with at least 8 DQs so far is damaging the integrity of road racing nationwide.
