TJ Holmes hit a huge speed bump during the 2024 Chicago Marathon – failing to finish thanks to a nasty injury that forced him out of the race.
The TV personality shared a dramatic IG photo of himself strapped to a stretcher in the back of an ambulance, all thanks to an injured Achilles tendon that quickly put an end to his marathon goal on Sunday.

In the video, TJ looked very worried as he talked to a doctor as he was taken away.
His first IG stories showed him crushing miles to cheers all around him, and starting off on the right foot — only for his Achilles tendon to give him a rough reality check.
The injury appeared to strike somewhere between miles 15 and 13 miles, derailing TJ’s run, his girlfriend said. Amy Robach‘s IG story – she led the event with him, but backed out to go with him in the ambulance.
Talk about a gut punch! Holmes and Robach, both seasoned runners, didn’t exactly get their storybook ending this time, but in the end, health is wealth.
