Chebet, who used to never win (0 wins in his 1st 10 marathons with six 2nd place finishes), has been winning everything of late including in 2022 when he became the 5th man to win Boston & NYC in the same year, says those wins changed his life but he's excited about facing Eliud Kipchoge.

Kipchoge will have his hands full with the last two Boston champs, Benson Kipruto and Evans Chebet.

Evans Chebet won the NYC Marathon while Daniel Do Nascimento ran with pure guts and payed the price on the course.

Some people think all that matters is the order you finish. Think again. The LRC Boston Marathon men's report cards are here.

Evans Chebet blasted a 13:55 5k from 35k to 40k to get the win in Boston.

Pre-race, we said the Valencia fields were the deepest in history and that proved to be the case, particularly in the men's race where 30 men broke 2:10.

An American-born man hasn't won the Boston Marathon since 1983. Galen Rupp enters Monday's race in the form of his life, but will that be enough as the men's field is a lot more difficult to win this year than last?

Wilson Kipsang just ran 2:03:13 in Berlin. He says he wants his world record back. We think a course record (2:05:42) is more reasonable. But it should be exciting nonetheless and the best part about it is you don't have to get up early to enjoy. Live Saturday night during prime-time.

LRC supervisitor David Graham has rolled out his 2016 world rankings plus plenty more thoughts on the year in men's marathoning. Obviously the great Kipchoge is #1, but where does Rupp rank?

Terer ran 2:08:07 to beat Evans Chebet by 10-seconds.  Cuthbert Nyasango was 3rd in a Zambabwe NR of 2:09:52. Moses Mosop had a disappointing race running 2:20:37 for 12th. 2011 NYC champ Dado dominated the women's race in 2:23:34.
