Matt Choi, the running influencer who infuriated the running community by bringing two unauthorized e-bikes onto the New York City Marathon course to film him running, has issued an apology.“I f----- up,” he said in a video posted to Instagram. “I was selfish on Sunday.”Choi made it clear in his video that he understood the consequences of his actions. “We endangered other runners. We impacted people going for PBs. We blocked people from getting water.
” Choi has not responded to a request for comment from Runner’s World. On November 3, Choi, 29, finished the marathon in 2:57, openly floating race rules with the two vehicles beside him. Runners raised an outcry, and by the evening of November 4, New York Road Runners had disqualified him from the race and banned him from future events. Choi said in his apology video that he will not appeal the organization’s ruling. The actions are likely to have financial implications for Choi.
