Sharon Lokedi of Kenya breaks record as women’s winner in Boston Marathon
Kenya’s Sharon Lokedi shatters the Boston Marathon course record for the women’s elite race. The previous record was set in 2014.
Sharon Lokedi of Kenya won the women’s elite race at Monday’s Boston Marathon, finishing with a time of 2:17:22, greeted by her mom as she ran across the finish line.
She broke the women’s course record, which was previously set at 2:19:59 by Buzunesh Deba of Ethiopia in 2014. Beating the course record comes with a $50,000 bonus on top of the $150,000 first place prize money.
Lokedi and Hellen Obiri of Kenya — the two-time defending champion — were neck and neck in the final miles of the course, but the former ultimately finished narrowly ahead of her competitor.
Lokedi redeemed her finish in Boston last year, when she earned silver behind Obiri.
The 31-year-old previously won the 2022 New York Marathon and earned bronze in that course in 2023.
Obiri, the two-time defending Boston Marathon champion, narrowly missed a three-peat instead earning silver in the women’s elite race Monday.
Obiri finished with a time of 2:17:41.
John Korir of Kenya men’s winner in Boston Marathon
John Korir (Kenya) during the 2025 Boston Marathon.
John Korir of Kenya pulled away Monday to win the 129th running of the Boston Marathon, surging through the hills outside of Boston to claim a dominant victory in a time of 2 hours, 4 minutes and 45 seconds.
Korir, 28, made a strong move around Mile 20 to separate himself from the rest of the frontrunners and build a sizable lead heading into the closing stretch. That gap, which was more than 50 seconds in the final few miles, proved to be more proved to be more than enough to hold off the chase pack that featured American Conner Mantz, among others. Mantz finished fourth.
Korir, who also won last year’s Chicago Marathon, joins his older brother, Wesley, as the rare siblings to win the Boston Marathon. Wesley Korir won Boston in 2012.
Tanzania’s Alphonce Simbu and Kenya’s Cybrian Kotut both finished with a time of 2:05:04 in the men’s elite race at Monday’s Boston Marathon. Official results list Simbu as the second-place finisher and Kotut as the bronze winner.
The men crossed the finish line just under 20 seconds after Korir.
Last year’s champion, Sisay Lemma of Ethiopia, dropped out after the halfway point.
Women’s wheelchair winner: Susannah Scaroni
Susannah Scaroni (USA) crosses the finish line to win the women’s wheelchairs group during the 2025 Boston Marathon.
Susannah Scaroni, the 2023 women’s wheelchair winner, earned a second Boston Marathon title Monday.
Scaroni, an American, finished with a time of 1:35:20 — a 03:39 minute per mile pace.
A longtime marathoner, Scaroni recently won the 2024 New York City Marathon and earned a silver medal at the Paris Paralympic Games. In Boston, she previously earned second in 2018 and third in 2014, 2015 and 2017.
She didn’t race last year due to injury. Last year, the United Kingdom’s Eden Rainbow-Cooper took home the title.
Men’s wheelchair winner: Marcel Hug
Switzerland’s Marcel Hug crosses the line to win the men’s wheelchair race in the 129th Boston Marathon on April 21, 2025.
Marcel Hug of Switzerland defended his men’s wheelchair title with a time of 1:21:34, earning his eighth Boston Marathon championship.
The 39-year-old got out to a solid start on the course with a pace of 2:23 minutes per mile by the 5K mark, according to the Boston Athletic Association’s athlete tracker. He reached the halfway point with a time of 37:57 and finished the race with an average pace of 3:06 minutes per mile.
Hug previously won the title in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023 and 2024. He is also the reigning course record holder with a 1:15:33 finish last year, which broke the previous course record he set in 2023.
