John Korir from Kenya secured his Boston Marathon title for the second time, shattering the course record with a time of two hours, one minute, and fifty-two seconds. This marked the fifth-fastest marathon ever run. Sharon Lokedi, also from Kenya, repeated as womens champ in two hours, eighteen minutes, and fifty-one seconds. The race saw a sweep for the East Africans against the deepest field in race history. A tailwind pushed the elites, with Korir breaking away on Heartbreak Hill and cruising to victory by over a minute. Americans Zouhair Talbi and Jess McClain also had notable performances, placing fifth in their respective races. The weather started freezing but warmed up to mid-forties with a helpful breeze. Wheelchair stars Marcel Hug and Eden Rainbow-Cooper also delivered impressive performances, with Hug winning the mens race and Rainbow-Cooper winning the womens race. The fast times and record-breaking performances kept Bostons legacy burning bright, drawing the worlds best to its historic streets year after year.
