Boston Marathon: Evans Chebet aiming for three-peat as in-form Hellen Obiri chases history
Evans Chebet and Hellen Obiri have plans to make history as they gear up for a tough outing at the Boston Marathon.
The bombings triggering a massive manhunt that led to the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and the death of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
The 26-mile marathon course follows a fairly straight line heading east. It begins in Hopkinton, Massachusetts and heads through Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Newton and Brookline before heading into Boston and finishing on Boylston Street.
Boston is a notoriously tough course which runners find difficult to navigate but it has been kind to Kenyans in recent years with Kenyan men winning five of the last six, among them titles from 2019 to 2023, while the women have claimed the last three.
