Overview
- John Korir won in 2:01:52, breaking Geoffrey Mutai’s 2011 Boston course record by 1 minute and 10 seconds.
- Because Boston’s course has a net drop and is point to point, its times are not eligible for official world-best lists.
- Richard Ringer placed eighth in 2:04:47, a 59-second personal best and the second-fastest marathon by a German behind Amanal Petros’s 2:04:03 from Valencia 2025.
- Hendrik Pfeiffer led at the 20 km mark and finished 17th in 2:06:34, which was under his official personal best.
- Korir received $150,000 for the win and a $50,000 bonus for the course record, according to race awards.
