Race Preview / Starter List
The Boston Marathon shares a season with the world's richest marathon, the London Marathon, and as such often feels like the poor cousin when it comes to its elite field. The story for 2015 follows the triumphant victory of an American at the 2014 Boston Marathon and the failure of some faster runners to compete. This year, runners will be unlikely to let anyone break away early. At the same time, we see that the race includes the best of American marathoning and we look forward to seeing how they compete against the world and against each other.
