When it comes to catching a marathon cheater, Derek Murphy is your guy. (From 2020)
racers Murphy had been watching for a while was Parvaneh Moayedi, a 56-year-old woman based in San Antonio, Texas, who held the Guinness World Record for the most marathons run by a woman in one year and the most marathons run on consecutive days by a woman . She also claimed to be the only woman in history to have run more than 1,000 marathons, having completed more than 1,250 to date.
Over the years, fellow runners had flagged Moayedi's behavior at several high-profile races. In 2013, after logging a suspiciously fast split time late in a 100-mile race in Texas, she was disqualified. She was disqualified from the 2016 Houston Marathon after her timing chip failed to register splits at several checkpoints. Murphy also suspected Moayedi didn't run all of her own races, even though she's often listed in the results, in order to boost her record numbers.
“That's her in the black coat,” Murphy whispered, pointing to a short woman with curly gray hair dressed in black track pants, puffy coat, and baseball cap. “She definitely doesn't look like she's dressed to run a marathon.”
