John Korir breaks Boston record

Korir finished the 130th edition of the race in an unofficial time of 2 hours, 1 minute, and 52 seconds, aided by favorable tailwinds.

His performance ranks as the fifth-fastest marathon time ever recorded, cementing his status as a dominant force in distance running.

The unseasonably chilly conditions at the start gave way to ideal running weather, allowing the top three men's finishers to all beat the previous course record.

In the wheelchair division, Marcel Hug secured his ninth victory, further extending his legendary legacy in Boston.
