Lil Nas X he tried to get his miles to New York, but he did it the wrong way. The entertainer ran a half marathon in Coach sneakers and left in a wheelchair.
As mentionted with Yahoo! ZOE, the “Industry Baby” singer ran the NYC Half Marathon on Sunday, March 17th. While the man born Montero Lamar Hill admitted he didn't train properly for the competition, usually three to four months in advance depending on ability, he did finish the race with a time of 2:32:53. According to Page six he has never run more than three miles in one shot or run outdoors.
In addition to not training enough, Lil Nas X eschewed the traditional gear worn by runners. His outfit included a green long-sleeved T-shirt, black adidas shorts, a glittery plush durag and high heels. The shoes in question were not running sneakers but a pair of Coach Distressed High Tops. Featuring a leather upper and rubber outsole, these shoes are the opposite of what you want to wear for a 13-mile outing.
In 2022, Lil Nas X starred in a campaign for Coach.
After the fight he shared an update, sharing a video via his Instagram Story while in a wheelchair saying “Well… the fight went well,” he joked. “He's fighting!” The “Old Town Road” singer then shared a photo of herself with the caption, “Hey at least I did [it] tuh”.
