Kenyans sweep Boston Marathon
The race was held in unseasonably chilly conditions, which Korir utilized to blister the previous record by a significant margin.
Lokedi relied on her signature late-race kick to outpace a strong field and secure her second consecutive victory in the women's division.
In the wheelchair division, Switzerland's Marcel Hug won his ninth title, while Britain's Eden Rainbow-Cooper claimed her second win in three years.
The event drew an estimated 30,000 participants and featured several American runners posting career-best times.
