Sounds like Gracie, who is apparently an elite distance runner, owned the Tards over at Outkick

Couple things I took issue with …
For starters, Gracie Hunt said it was her first marathon. She also said she signed up on a whim while on a hike with her mom, Tavia, and had zero prior training aside from running a half-marathon a few months back … on a treadmill.
It all seemed a little fishy to me – especially after discovering that Gracie’s time was basically a notch below “elite” in the female category – and I called foul. Just didn’t add up for this skeptic.
And then, Tavia Hunt took took to Instagram with a smoking gun, threw a couple haymakers, stuffed me in a locker and called it a day.
Turns out, Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt is an elite marathon runner
Welp, there you have it. Look, I’m nothing if not a man of honor, and we’re all about integrity here at Nightcaps.
If Carl Winslow from Family Matters taught me one thing growing up, it was to admit you’re wrong when you’re wrong, and I was wrong.
That’s on me, Gracie. Perhaps it was because I get winded from peeling an orange and couldn’t fathom someone basically rolling out of bed and finishing a marathon, but I don’t want to make excuses.
But hey, it did lead to our first ever Nightcaps email! OutKick reader Greg was a fellow Gracie Hunt skeptic, and did some digging himself.
Regarding your story about her marathon claims – it looks like she completed the 2022 Boulderthon in a recorded time of 3:47:27, so a “3:45” claim isn’t too far off.
I thought maybe someone “borrowed” her bib for the race and turned in a time she couldn’t have hit, but the pictures are there. The results say she ran a marathon that looks a lot like what you’d expect for someone who ran their first marathon without a ton of specific training.
She went out too fast, blasted through the first half of the race, started slowing down after the halfway point, then hit the wall HARD around mile 20 and walked most of the last 6 miles or so.
Fair enough. I’m sorry, Gracie. Give ’em hell at the Boston Marathon in a few months.
