You are an artist. And yeah, you got me teared up at the end. -T

[davidyim]

Wow. Tears in my eyes watching the end. You’ve reminded me so much how it’s not just about the medals, but the whole journey…the memories you’ve made, the places you’ve seen, the friends that you’ve made along the way. The sheer joy, the tears, the struggle, the elation from the first start line to finally earning that six star medal. You are a true artist Mike, and I’m honoured to have shared some of this journey with you. Thank you for the shout out, it’s been an honour. Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤

[akapantsusenpai]

Damn! I got a little emotional when you were announced to get your 6th Star. That was awesome!

[AndreasKriswanto]

What a beautiful narration, Mike. That recap clips from previous races definitely hit hard. You’ve come so far and completely deserved it. Congrats once again!!

[ClubmanGT]

What a magnificent video! A beautiful ending as well. Thank you so much. Running is an incredible sport. We support each other. You’ve just helped to relieve my incredible anxiety that has been building for weeks as I attempt my first full marathon here in Melbourne next weekend. I’ve been training for months. I’m running for my dad, who I lost in February. He always told me to attempt the impossible. Thank you, Kofuzi👌

[ticodatte]

Always love the runners weekends videos!!! So many activities!!! Congrats once again for the 6 stars on berlin!!!

[Daviddiff]

Enchanting, emotional, uplifting. A true cinematographer

[СергейЖилин-уя]

It's refreshing to experience a "city tour" from your perspective while living here. It reminded me of the joy I felt when I first visited all these places 🥰

[cherylross]

When it comes to these videos, no one can touch you. Simply magnificent!

[jamesfreeland]

Thank you for taking me to Berlin with you. I always enjoy your runner’s weekend videos. Congratulations again, on achieving your sixth star. Jim Freeland

[maraballerina]

Congratulations and thank you for taking us with you on your journeys! Such a beautiful portrayal of all of the work you’ve put in

[paulrainieruy]

Great meeting you at the BITR Shakeout. Congratulations on your 6th star!

[dougbarnes]

Same…. Tears. I’ll be getting my 6 Star this year in NYC. Thank you Kofuzi for allowing us all into your adventures! Saw you at almost all the majors this year and it makes my day and race weekend to find the “Where’s Waldo” in our racing community. Great job man!

[MsTrinichic]

The tribute in part to Thomas and Meagan had me tearing up as well!!
❤❤

[casual.runner]

What an inspiring journey, thanks for bringing us with you! Bummed i didn't get to see you in Berlin. Saw Thomas & Aubrey during the race, Karl & Drew at the expo but the chance to see you 🐐eluded me.

[dianarickards]

Congrats KO! This is huge! I just ran my first half marathon, so I'm far from a 6-star, but your journey and the "game of seconds" really resonated. Loved the bromance with Thomas and BITR crew and all the adventures leading up to this moment. Be proud!

[andrewhammonds]

So cool Kofuzi. Your runners weekends are my favorite videos on YouTube. Love how you ran for feel, the sixth star is one of the biggest victory laps out there.

[chinpoeykhoo]

Great pre and post race videos as always, congrat 6 Stars finisher Kofuzi!

[threatened]

I like the way you capture a certain feeling, despite people touching you "for no reason" (6:25) - I felt that ...

[jaiezee]

Very nice video. Always look forward to your runner's weekends. Congrats on the big six! Well deserved.
