T.J. Holmes, 47, made a confident comeback to marathon running as he joined partner Amy Robach at the New York City Marathon on November 3, just weeks after a Chicago Marathon injury landed him in the hospital.

Holmes, who suffered an Achilles injury during the Chicago race on October 13, shared his “redemption run” experience on Instagram, posting photos from the event, including his Nike trainers and pre-race moments.

Holmes’ NYC run showed his resilience, with Robach supporting him as he completed the race without further incident.

Their experience has gained support from fans and the marathon community, with many cheering Holmes’ return to racing after his injury. Robach’s Instagram Story showcased her excitement, posting “Staten Island Bound” as they headed to the race. Holmes, motivated by his unfinished Chicago run, showed his tenacity and dedication to the sport with this latest achievement.
