Kenya's John Korir Sets Course Record to Win Second Consecutive Boston Marathon
Kenya's John Korir won his second straight Boston Marathon with a new course record of 2:01:52, beating Geoffrey Mutai's 2011 mark by 1 minute and 10 seconds. Compatriot Sharon Lokedi successfully defended her women's title in 2:18:51. The 29-year-old Korir, who also won the Chicago Marathon in 2024 and Valencia Marathon in December, called it a smooth race compared to last year's edition where he fell early before recovering.
