The Winners in the 2024 Boston Marathon: Who Won the 2024 Boston Marathon?

Running alone for most of the route, Ethiopian Sisay Lemma won the Boston Marathon on Monday in 2 hours, 6 minutes, and 17 seconds, the 10th fastest time in the race’s 128-year history. Lemma established a scorching pace and held on to win.

When Lemma won in Valencia last year, he became the fourth person to break two hours and two minutes. He arrived in Boston with the quickest time in the field. And on the track, the 2021 London winner demonstrated it by breaking away from the field in Ashland and taking a lead of more than half a mile.

Who won the 2024 Boston Marathon?

Competitors ran the 128th Boston Marathon today from more than 100 nations. A small percentage of the approximately 30,000 runners crossing the finish line at Boylston will win rewards, but most will not. Who won is shown here.

Men’s Professional Division:

Ethiopia’s Sisay Lemma failed to finish the 2022 Boston Marathon. There was little question that he would first cross the finish line on Monday.

At 2:06:17, the 33-year-old broke the tape and led from start to finish, recording the 10th fastest time in Boston history. For most of the race, Lemma counted his lead in minutes; however, in the last few kilometers, his advantage was reduced to only one minute. However, Lemma was being outrun by everyone. His best finish in Boston before was in 30th place in 2019.

Ethiopian Mohamed Esa crossed the finish line in second place at 2:06:58, followed closely by reigning champion Evans Chebet at 2:07:22. The remaining two Kenyans in the top five were John Korir (2:07:40) and Albert Korir (2:07:47).

With a best finish of 2:09:53, C.J. Albertson was the highest American finisher and ranked seventh overall in Boston. In last year’s race, he placed 12th, 13th, and 10th in 2022.

Ethiopian Sisay Lemma finished the race in 2:06:17.
Ethiopian Mohamed Esa finished in 2:06:58.
Kenyan Evans Chebet finished the course in 2:07:22. In 2022 and 2023, he had previously won the Boston Marathon.

Women’s Professional Division:

With a finishing time of 2:22:37, Kenyan Hellen Obiri broke the tape to win the women’s Boston Marathon for the second time in a row. Since Catherine Ndereba of Kenya won two consecutive women’s races in 2004 and 2005, she is the first victor to win both events in a row.

For the last few kilometers on Monday, the pack of twenty shrank to just two as Obiri and Sharon Lokedi sprinted next to one another with the spectators encouraging them. However, Obiri put things on overdrive in the last lap and is now the proud owner of another Boston triumph. Obiri won the 2023 New York City Marathon.

With Lokedi coming in second at 2:22:45 and Edna Kiplagat in third at 2:23:21, Kenya secured the top three positions in the women’s competition. The final two Ethiopian competitors, Buze Diriba and Senbere Teferi completed at 2:24:04 to complete the top five in the women’s race.

With a time of 2:27:14 on Monday, Emma Bates of Minnesota became the first American woman to cross the finish line. Next came Sara Hall with 2:27:48, two minutes below her Boston finish from the previous year, and 2018 winner Des Linden with 2:28:27.

Kenyan Hellen Obiri finished the race in 2:22:37. She has now won the Boston Marathon twice.
Kenyan Sharon Lokedi finished in 2:22:45.
Kenyan Edna Kiplagat finished in 2:23:21.

Men’s Wheelchair Division:

Marcel Hug of Switzerland won the men’s wheelchair title again this year. On Monday, “The Silver Bullet” won his sixth Boston championship and set a new course record.

He broke the record with a 1:15:33 finish—rather than merely breaking it. He beat his track record with a 1:17:06 finish time last year.

Despite slamming into the wall as he pulled into Comm Ave in Newton, he repeated as a record-breaking champion. However, Hug was unfazed by the incident on Monday and finished well ahead of the competition for the second year in a row. Daniel Romanchuk of Maryland came in second with a time of 1:20:37, followed by Joshua Cassidy (1:26:15), David Weir (1:22:12), and Sho Wantanabe (1:26:10).

Romanchuk was the highest American finisher, with Evan Cornell (1:30:31) and Aaron Pike (1:28:35) following.

At 1:15:33, Marcel Hug, a Swiss competitor, is believed to have set a new track record. He has now won seven times in the wheelchair class of the Boston Marathon.
American competitor Daniel Romanchuk finished the race in 1:20:37.
British competitor David Weir finished the race in 1:22:12.

Women’s Wheelchair Division:

The wheelchair section of the Boston Marathon was won by a newcomer, Eden Rainbow-Cooper, who made history by being the first British woman to win in this category. With a timing of 1:35:11, the 22-year-old completed the race on Monday and won her first World Marathon major.

Rainbow-Cooper’s advantage was reduced to thirty seconds by four-time champion Manuela Schar at one point, but the Portsmouth, England native drew away in the end. She turned left onto Boylston and looked in the rearview mirror, but nobody was there.

Rainbow-Cooper also won the Boston 5K on Saturday. She won the race on Monday; therefore, he will probably have a sponsor now that he has one. With a time of 1:36:41 on Monday, Schar finished in second place. Madison De Rozario (1:39:20), Patricia Eachus (1:40:22), and Aline Dos Santos Rocha (1:41:47) were next in line.

In the women’s wheelchair race, Michelle Wheeler finished first among Americans at 1:45:59.

The British competitor Eden Rainbow-Cooper finished the race in 1:35:11.
