Official 2025 Boston Marathon Thread

Donate the $5 to charity or leave for the church Sunday. He ran exceptionally.

why the downvotes. you guys know about bill rodgers, right?

This group appear to be slowing, Thackery is also running in a small group so 6-10 places are together

People complaining about others running for charity, uncertainty as to why ESPN wouldn't have the Boston Marathon as a premium product, Mantz not besting Hall ... an annual tradition

Does anybody have a link to a webcam on the course. Just want to see if I can spot a friend somewhere on course

Beriso is gone??? since when?

Really dumb question- why did they have the winner go to one side of the finish line and then directed the rest to the other? Conner looked like he was driving to where the winner had just finished and then suddenly was forced to go right. Don't think he'd have beat them there but that was rather odd. Is that the norm?

Linkletter - 2:07:02

Ford - 2:08:00

Tiernan - 2:08:08

all in Puma shoes. I’m buying a pair

He never should have led. The three guys who beat him, drafted off him for most of the race.

Korir in for the win in 2:04:45, fading a bit to win by 19 seconds, the second quickest winning time, as Alphonse Simbu beats CyBrian Kotut in a sprint finish for second both finishing in 2:05:04, with Mantz just off the podium and best time for an American in a big pb of 2:05:08

Who the hell is Ryan Ford in 2:08:00 10th place

Missed Beriso being dropped. Think we have missed every single move in both races

Mantz and Young in the top 10. I have the weirdest bonna..

Eyestone is a great coach

Linkletter looked so hyped to outsprint Clayton, haha. I have to say, I'm impressed with the results of Jon Green's coaching – he's coached Molly Seidel, Phily Bowden, and Rory Linkletter to some very good performances. Obviously Seidel is dealing with other issues at the moment, but the man knows how train some marathoners.

Its been like that for years....and its stupid. Definitely messed up the flow of the challengers and forced Connor off his line.

I think it is normal to have the winner and everyone else go to different chutes.

Maybe he shouldn't have lead so much. OTH he would've had a slower finishing time if he hadn't.

2:05:05 puts Mantz at #2 on the U.S. all time list, right?
