In the women's marathon American Desiree Davila and Kenyan Caroline Kilel were neck and neck all the way until the final stretch, with Kilel finally winning the race with a personal-best 2 hours, 22 minutes and 36 seconds.
An unprecedented 26,964 participant field took part in the 115th Boston Marathon, which had a total of 26, 964 participants in the morning, nearby Hopkinton.
Early reports predicted temperatures to climb into the high 50s and low 60s, ideal weather conditions that left the course record of 2 hours, 5 minutes, 52 seconds, set last year by Kenyan Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot, up for grabs. Although Mutai's time is the fastest time ever over a marathon distance, it will not be recorded as an official world record because of wind factors and a downhill course.
