Magdalena Lewy-Boulet (née Lewy; born August 8, 1973) is an American runner from Oakland, California. Born in Jastrzębie-Zdrój, Poland,[1] Lewy-Boulet became a U.S. citizen on September 11, 2001.[2] Lewy Boulet finished second at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Women's Marathon, held on April 20, 2008, in Boston, Massachusetts, in a then personal-best time of 2:30:19. She led the race for the first 24 miles before being overtaken by eventual winner Deena Kastor. During the women's marathon at the 2008 Summer Olympics, a lingering knee injury forced Lewy Boulet to drop out 20 kilometres into the race.[3]

In the IAAF World Cross Country championships, she has earned two bronze medals representing the USA in the team competition, in 2010 and 2011. Individually, she finished 20th in the 2010 race and 18th in the 2011 race.

She won the 2002 San Francisco Marathon,[4] and finished sixth overall and first among American women at the 2009 New York City Marathon.[5] She finished second at the 2010 Rotterdam Marathon, in a personal best time of 2:26:22.[6] At the 2010 Chicago Marathon, she finished 7th in a time of 2:28:44. In other road racing performances, she was the top American finisher at the NYRR New York Mini 10K, but her time of 33:25 was only enough for eleventh overall.[7] In September, she won the 20K national title at the New Haven Road Race in a time of 1:07:41, some 45 seconds ahead of runner-up Stephanie Rothstein.[8]

She won the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in 2015, her debut 100-mile race, in a time of 19:05:21.[9]
