The Boston Marathon delivered high drama and fast times on Marathon Monday, April. In the men’s race, John Korir of Kenya overcame an early fall and the loss of his bib to surge ahead on Heartbreak Hill, finishing first in:0:4. This win makes the Korir brothers the first siblings to both claim Boston titles, with John following his brother Wesley’s victory.
On the women’s side, Sharon Lokedi of Kenya shattered the course record, pulling away in the final kilometers to edge out defending champion Hellen Obiri. Lokedi crossed the line in:1:2, just seconds ahead of Obiri, while Ethiopia’s Yalemzerf Yehualaw took third.
