Former BYU standout Conner Mantz will compete in his first marathon in a year this Sunday, according to a report from the Deseret News. Mantz, who has been training under coach Ed Eyestone at BYU's track in Provo, Utah, is preparing for the race after a lengthy absence from the marathon distance.
A photo from April 10, 2025, shows Eyestone instructing Mantz during a training session. The 2026 marathon will mark Mantz's return to the 26.2-mile distance after a year-long hiatus. Further details about the specific marathon were not disclosed in the report.
