The Boston where Bordin reeled in Ikangaa was pretty good.
Prob not top 5, but entertaining.

Chicago not a spring marathon
2008 London Marathon is a bit of an overlooked classic; faster than 2002 in worse conditions, and the fastest finish I've ever seen in a marathon. Lel at his best was absolutely mighty.
Also, Boston 2011 had us all absolutely gobsmacked. Possibly the most stunning result between Radcliffe 2:15 and Dibaba 3:50.
Last year in Berlin was perhaps the best I have seen.
I think Mutai's insane win at Boston in 2011 has to be on the top 10 list at least. Hall's daring run from the gun and the Mutai/Mosop battle in an unrabbited race was so fun to watch. Not the typical wait and respond affair.
Duh, yes without a doubt.
More than any other performance, except FloJo's exceptional year, my first thought was it was so out there it was hard to be legit. I am not saying one way or another if it was legit, just that it was that outstanding. Nobody was going to hang with her close enough for a sprint to make any difference.
I'm gonna go with The Hasay victory in her debut in 2017 Boston.
Doesn't Bekele vs Kipsang deserve a place on this list?
I take it back! Didn't see it was only spring marathons. I thought it was all time was shocked at how terrible a list it was.
