Boston Marathon 2025 live results: Full list of winners from all eight divisions in men's, women's Elite Race
The Boston Marathon is back on April 21 for its 129th annual competition. As always, the race will be held on Patriots' Day.
More than 30,000 runners will make their way from Hopkinton, Massachusetts to Boyleston Street in downtown Boston today for the 129th running of the Boston Marathon.
The 26.2-mile race is one of the biggest events for runners and fans from across the nation, but it is a particular source of pride for the Boston community. The race will begin at 9 a.m. ET and take a route through the heart of the city, starting in Hopkinton and ending on Boylston Street.
The professional field will feature both of last year's champions − Ethiopia's Sisay Lemma and Hellen Obiri of Kenya, who is the two-time defending champion − as well as several elite marathoners hoping to win it for the first time.
*An American woman has not won the Boston Marathon since Des Linden in 2018, and the U.S. men's drought goes back even further to 2014.
