Official 2026 Boston Marathon LIVE Thread

Not surprised to see Popehn up there pushing a bit. But she's been beat by her teammate Frisbie in the last couple of marathons. Frisbie probably deserves more attention then she gets, just pretty much goes about here business quietly.

what the heck

429.8 for mile 14. Korir has caught the 2016 champ.

Prediction:

My mid-race prediction. John Korir will drop out.

The problem I have is that the broadcast of the wheelchairs is at the expense of the running broadcast. We have missed key points of several races now because they spend such long segments.

Also, grating to listen to Kara tells us what other people are thinking and feeling. Wish she could just call the race and not project her thoughts and feelings onto the runners.

my wife is wigging out rn this is insane. she looks great

Looks like Hicks is also up there with Ford, Young falling back a bit

The woman who just won the wheelchair race has 1,900 followers on Instagram. That's what the average college kid has. I don't think there's more than 500ish people in the entire world who are tuning in to watch.

I would actually genuinely be interested in getting some insight from network folks or whoever it is that could speak to why they get so much airtime, though I'm guessing I won't get that in this thread lol.

i don't know if the pack is going to survive another move, but, the pack are catching the leaders back

My mid race prediction : Korir will win the race.

It doesn’t seem like a 2011 wind.
ran then, spectating today. There is no paper or debris blowing around like then.

What I'd love to see is both ESPN and ESPN2 cover the major marathons. ESPN gets the "main" coverage, i.e. what ESPN2 does now. ESPN2 shows the running race, split screen men/women.

Now my eyes hurt

wheres rupp

That changed fast in the men's lead pack.

449 for 15
