They come from throughout the world, to toe the starting line in Hopkinton for the 26.2-mile trip to Boston on Monday, April 21.
Thirty thousand strong. Give or take.
The 129th running of the Boston Marathon.
For a few, nothing less than victory will satisfy. That group includes last year’s champions from the elite men's and women's divisions —Sisay Lemma, of Ethiopia, and Hellen Obiri, of Kenya, both of whom return to defend their titles.
There are also folks from not so far away who have a significant chance to make noise. Medford resident Emma Bates placed 12th among the elite women last year (tops among Americans). And Princeton’s Colin Bennie, who as recently as 2021 ran under 2 hours and 10 minutes — he was the first American male finisher that year.
Many thousands more are running for charity, to check a box or — if you can believe it — just for fun. And an even dozen runners hail from greater Gardner.
Area runners range in age from 35 to 56. Find your favorite below:
29347: André Beauregard, 42
18519: Leah Catlin, 40
10730: Samuel Johnson, Samuel, 56
27257: Christopher Lake, 48
29990: Jonathan Miganowicz, 38
4650: Jeremy Zglobicki, 37
27991: Katie Carlson, 38
32175: Adam Garabedian, 37
28113: Robert Grant, 39
28319: Jessica Popik, 38
14880: Jeremy Roche, 54
29409: Daria Senatov, 35
