Kenyan runner John Korir won the Boston Marathon on Monday for the second straight year. He set a new course record with an unofficial time of two hours, one minute, and 52 seconds.
Riding a tailwind, the defending champion outran the fastest field in event history to secure his second successive victory. This result is the fifth-fastest marathon of all time.
Calgary-born Rory Linkletter also competed in the event, finishing with his best marathon time of 2:06:04.
