The 114th version of the Boston Marathon has been a great race! The women’s race was tremendously close, and the men’s race was one for the record books. Our sport’s top marathon statistician, K. Ken Nakamura has provided the real geek stuff! Read, worship, read, worship, then run!
You all know that Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot broke the course record at Boston marathon.
