The 28-year-old athlete ran a distance in 2 hours 4 minutes 45 seconds, which was the second best result in the history of the Boston Marathon. Corrier gave way to his countryman Jeffrey Mutai, who in 2011 set a record – 2 hours 3 minutes 3 seconds.
It is worth noting that Corrus repeated the achievement of his older brother Wesley, who won in Boston’s Marathon in 2012. John and Wesley became the first brothers in history to win the Boston Marathon. In addition, John is the winner of another prestigious marathon, namely Chicagon, which he won last year.
John Korir won the Boston Marathon on the third attempt: in 2023 he finished ninth and last year – the fourth. And to the race, the athlete confessed that he called his brother to give him advice on how to win.
Interestingly, the owner of the marathon silver medal determined photofinish. Tanzanets Alfa Simbu and Keniean Kibrian Cotout ran through the same time (2:05:04). Photofinish determined that the second place was taken by Simbu.
We will remind that the victory in the women’s Boston Marathoni was won by John Corir’s countryman – Sharon Locadi won the race, and at the same time set up a record time to overcome the distance.
