John Korir Shatters Boston Record
Korir capitalized on a favorable tailwind to outpace the fastest field in the event's 130-year history.
Lokedi relied on a powerful late kick to secure her second consecutive victory, finishing just ahead of a competitive pack.
In the wheelchair divisions, Marcel Hug of Switzerland claimed his ninth Boston title, while Britain's Eden Rainbow-Cooper won the women's race.
The event marked a critical test for Boston's tourism sector, which has faced a slowdown in international travel.
