Boston Marathon 2025

An historic day on Boylston for the 2025 Boston Marathon. Sharon Lokedi finally bested her long-time rival and two-time defending champion Hellen Obiri. @shazrine not only upgraded her 2nd place finish from last year to take home the golden wreath, she also took home a shiny new course record. I guess an historic effort is what it takes to beat @hellenobiri . @jesstonn came in with the goal of being Top American and got the job done. @anniefrisb3 had the kind of day we’ve all been hoping/expecting her to have for so long now, coming in 2nd American and 8th overall (her second Top 10 finish at a world marathon major). @emmajanelbates came in third American. Olympian @dakotahlindwurm was fourth American. And @des_linden came in 5th American in an emotional finish for her last professional marathon. . On the men’s side, 2024 Chicago Marathon champion John Korir took the win, quieting any doubts that the winner on the flat and fast Chicago course might not be able to handle hills. People must have forgotten that @korir564 was a two-time winner of the very hilly LA Marathon. The North American men also had a solid showing, with @connermantz just narrowly missing the podium by getting out kicked by CyBrian Kotut @kimurgorkotut @rory_linkletter came in as top Canadian and 6th overall. Fellow BYU alum @_clayton_young_ came in 7th for 2nd American.
