The Boston Marathon is one of the most exciting events on the running calendar, and this year will be no different with defending champions Evans Chebet and Hellen Obiri returning to defend their crowns.
Chebet is aiming to win the Boston Marathon for the third time in a row after he beat a stacked field that included Eliud Kipchoge last year. His main threat will probably be Sisay Lemma, who ran 2hr 1min 48sec at the Valencia Marathon last year, is the fastest man in the field and the fourth-fastest in history. Last year’s runner-up Gabriel Geay will also be in the mix for the win.
