Kenyan John Korir overcame a tumble near the starting line to win the Boston Marathon on Monday, finishing in two hours, four minutes and 45 seconds, while his compatriot Sharon Lokedi denied Hellen Obiri a third straight title in a course record.
The 2024 Chicago winner Korir, recovered quickly from the fall and pulled away at the 20-mile mark, building a minute cushion between himself and the rest of the field with two miles to go, before jogging through the finish.
