2024 Boston Marathon winners: Who won the men’s and women’s races
The 2024 Boston Marathon got underway at 9:02 a.m. ET and we’re starting to see the first winners crossing the finish line near Copley Square. Swiss wheelchair racer Marcel Hug was the first person to finish and demolished his course record in the process. Hug won his seventh Boston Marathon with a time of 1:15:33. It marked his second straight win and was a year removed from setting the previous course record of 1:17:06. As ESPN’s announcer noted, he entirely skipped the 1:16s in his victory.
The second finisher in the race was the first American to complete the Boston Marathon. Daniel Romanchuk, the winner in 2022 and 2019, finished with a time of 1:20:37. The first woman British wheelchair racer Eden Rainbow Cooper, finishing with a time of 1:35:11.
Sisay Lemma claimed victory in the professional men’s division, with a time of 2:06:17. He finished 30th last year and had DNFs in the previous two races. Mohamed Esa finished second, 41 seconds back of Lemma, and two-time defending champ Evans Chebet finished third. The top American man was C.J. Albertson, who finished in seventh with a time of 2:09:53.
Hellen Obiri won the professional women’s division with a time of 2:22:37, edging out Sharon Lokedi by eight seconds.
