BOSTON —One Boston Marathon champion defended his title in the 129th edition of the race, but three other divisions crowned new champions on Monday.
Fifty years after Bob Hall’s pioneering 1975 finish, when the Massachusetts native became the first official wheelchair finisher in race history, Marcel Hug of Switzerland made history with his eighth victory. Hug crossed the stripe with an unofficial time of 1:21:34.
Oregon’s Susannah Scaroni crossed the line for the women’s wheelchair division with an unofficial time of 1:35:20.
In the open division, Kenya’s Sharon Lokedi crossed the stripe in an unofficial time of 2:17:22, crushing the course record of 2:19:29, which was set in 2014.
Minutes earlier, the younger brother of a previous Boston Marathon winner captured the top spot in the men’s professional division. Kenya’s John Korir took his first Boston Marathon win with an unofficial time of 2:04:45.
