Besides some fine marathoning, Korir spends time with the local media, talks to young athletes and fans, and has a great sense of humor. Wesley’s personal best of 2:06.13, came at the Bank of America Chicago marathon in October 2012, in pretty chilly conditions. His win in the 2012 Boston Marathon was just the opposite: warm, humid conditions.
