Sharon Lokedi breaks women’s course recordJohn Korir wins 13 years after brother Wesley’s victory
Sharon Lokedi broke the Boston Marathon course record, and fellow Kenyan John Korir joined his brother as a race champion on Monday.
Lokedi outran two-time defending champion Hellen Obiri over the final mile a year after losing a sprint down Boylston Street to the same athlete in one of the closest finishes in race history. Lokedi finished in an unofficial 2hr 17min 22sec – 19 seconds ahead of Obiri and more than two minutes faster than the previous Boston best.
