Boston Marathon 2023 preview
The world's most prestigious marathon returns to the streets of Massachusetts on today, Monday April 17, with 30,000 athletes from more than 100 countries set to take on the Boston Marathon 2023.
Taking place in its traditional Patriots' Day slot, this year's race looks likely to be one to remember. Olympic champion, world record holder, and arguably the greatest marathoner in history, Eliud Kipchoge is set to make his long-awaited Boston Marathon debut at this year's event.
Kipchoge will be facing off against five of the six World Marathon Majors held last year. The field includes Evans Chebet (Boston & NYC champion), Benson Kipruto (Chicago champ) and Tanzanian star Gabriel Geay.
Intriguingly, the men's race line-up also includes Shura Kitata - the winner of the 2020 London champion, which was the last time Kipchoge lost a marathon.
There's also a strong field for the Women's race, with home favourite Des Linden and Kenya’s evergreen Edna Kiplagat this year's main contenders.
