American Susannah Scaroni wins the women's wheelchair Boston Marathon 2025 title for 2nd time..
Susannah Scaroni has won the 2025 Boston Marathon in the women’s wheelchair division. She finished in 1:35:20.
This was the second Boston Marathon win for Scaroni, who won in 2023. She finished about two minutes ahead of Catherin Debrunner, of Switzerland.
Scaroni is no stranger to the podium. She won the race in 2023, finished second in 2018, and finished third in 2017, 2015, and 2014.
The Tekoa, Wash. native is a six-time paralympic gold medalist. She won gold in the 5,000 meter race while representing the United States in the 2020 Tokyo games. She earned three bronze medals in the 2024 Paris games.
She missed the last year’s Boston Marathon due to injury, but she came back to win the New York City Marathon in November.
The race was tight for a while, but Scaroni eventually pulled away from top challengers Catherine DeBrunner and Manuela Schar, earning her second Boston Marathon win.
She becomes the fifth American woman to win multiple wheelchair titles, joining Tatyana McFadden, Cheri Blauwet, Jean Driscoll, and Candace Cable-Brookes.

Scaroni called it “a miracle” as she crossed the finish line with a time more than six minutes faster than her first win in 2023.
“You can call it a miracle. I’m so thankful. To be able to make a gap on a downhill from an amazing group of women and float home with these crowds, it’s really an amazing day for me.”
"I will say I'm pretty happy to come in first today, but I love all the people I race with," Scaroni said.
