Patrick Clancy and Rachel Danis ran marathon together days before Lindsay Clancy killed children? Fact-check amid trial
A viral claim has been circulating online that Patrick Clancy and Rachel Danis ran a marathon together, days before Lindsay Clancy killed her children.
A viral claim has been circulating online that Patrick Clancy ran a marathon with his current wife, Dr Rachel Danis, just nine days before his ex-wife Lindsay Clancy killed their children. The trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of killing her children Cora, Dawson, and Callan on January 24, 2023, has fueled this claim. Patrick and Rachel also ran the 2026 Bermuda Half Marathon together, but not in 2023.
Patrick ran his first marathon in April 2024, the Boston Marathon, to raise money for the Boston Children's Hospital. Rachel, a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist, began dating Patrick in February 2024, moved into his Upper East Side apartment in 2025, and they got married in April 2026. Therefore, the claim that Patrick and Rachel ran a marathon together in 2023, just before Lindsay Clancy's tragedy, is false.
