Today Jessica Chichester finished 5th overall at the Boston Marathon out of the mass start. 5th overall is worth $15k.
Does anyone know if she is eligible since she started back with the peasants??

Unfortunately it seems like you had to be in the elite women's start to be eligible for prize money. Pretty wild she came in fifth and ahead of Shalane though. I thought I recognized her name and then I realized it's because we usually finish pretty close in the results in random NYRR races. Crazy day out there.
Give the woman her money - she earned it!
