The Wellesley College girls are at mile 11, I believe. Could Rojo give us a “boots on the ground” report as to their level of enthusiasm and aesthetic appeal this year?

he's raced 40 marathon majors because its more akin to cycling - someone who has raced 40 26 mile bike races doesn't sound so impressive
Or raced 26 times in a velodrome.

It’s awful. The last time they showed the women I didn’t see Emily Sisson and they will not go back so I don’t know. It has been straight up wheelchairs forever now.

shoutouts to Kodi Kleven, she's my wife's running coach and she's incredibly nice. PR 2:28 but her training has been crazy lately and she's in the lead rn. here's to hoping for a big day for her!

Its like this every year. It sucks so bad.
I've been trying to find a stream from another country where I don't need an account or subscription, but I gave up.

ESPN tries to cater to people who don't follow the sport regularly, and in the process they alienate those who do.

Boston is unquestionably the worst broadcast. Chicago, NYC, they all show some wheelchair, but Boston is really alone in their insistence on only showing wheelchair for half the broadcast.
Surely you are joking, Chicago is far far worse
Not recently no. They followed the runners a lot more last year than Boston. Boston 2025 was virtually unwatchable.

LOL huge break in the men's race so let's zoom in on the female wheelchair racer all alone, and then a full-screen graphic of the woman's wheelchair racers journey

Playing the interviews t the end of the broadcast is a great idea. I wonder if even the families of the wheelchair racers care about their race!
