Official 2026 Boston Marathon LIVE Thread

Placeholder comment for when the coverage inevitably shows way too much wheelchair or misses the breakaway in either gender race.

Agreed. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much for good coverage, because it seems I am let down by almost every major I watch. I would gladly pay $10-$20 today for a feed of just the pros - preferably a split screen to see the men and women at the same time.

Can’t wait to watch some wheelchair coverage!!

Wheelchairs are allowed on the course?? Let's explore this topic just a bit more puhlease!

Temps may be ideal for most, but there are ZERO clouds in the sky (currently in Kenmore). Anytime you can see the fireball overhead, it’s not a good marathon day.

Walker's tolerated as long as they stay out of the way.🤣

Are any elites wearing AF4 today? We know Nike is bringing AF4 to London for sure

I've been on pins and needles for the last 3 months waiting to see how this epic wheelchair race will turn out. I think everyone is feeling the same.

Rupp with a Carlos Lopes style victory today!

Based and Rupp-pilled

So pumped for another year of wheelchair coverage with a sprinkle of the men's marathon thrown in every 20 mins or so.

Thank f*ck it's Tim and Jo on the TNT UK coverage, we don't have to listen to any American pish.

What's the over under for the number of pros that don't know where the finish line is? Every year many of the pros think the finish line is under the big archway with the clock (which I understand) BUT the finish line is actually the blue stripe on the ground about 50ft before the arch. Yet every year people sprint for the arch and not realizing they already finished.

Does coach dahll have anyone in this one?

I’ll look for you as I’ve been following this real great website a lot for a long time! And I think I’ll be able to spot you as you’ll be wearing the world famous yellow beanie! I’ll cheer your name when I see you as I love your website! Please keep us updated a ton as you’ll have a real good front row seat to the action!

ESPN: “We have to start our discussion with Marcel Hug.”

JFC.

My sleeper pick: Rory will podium. High milage block. Consistent long term training. He could easily be in the mix late.
