by Alfonz JuckSo, who is going to win the men’s elite division with the 2022 Boston Marathon? That is why the TV coverage should be so compelling on Monday, as the field is so competitive, with past Boston winners and NYC winners.
My take? I am looking at Geoffrey Kamworor to win the Boston Marathon. His experience in cross country, track, and road racing should help him battle the field. We will just have to see how far off I am on Monday!

BOSTON (USA) The men’s race in the Boston Marathon features no fewer than eight athletes with sub-2:05 lifetime bests: Ethiopians Birhanu Legese (2:02:48), Sisay Lemma (2:03:36), Kinde Atanaw (2:03:51) and former winners Lemi Berhanu (2:04:33) and Lelisa Desisa (2:04:45), Kenyans Evans Chebet (2:03:00) and Lawrence Cherono (2:03:04) and Tanzania’s Gabriel Geay (2:04:55). Kenya’s reigning champion Benson Kipruto (2:05:13) and Geoffrey Kamworor (2:05:23) are also part of a loaded field that also includes former winners Geoffrey Kirui from Kenya (2:06:27), Japan’s Yuki Kawauchi (2:07:27) and New York Marathon winner Albert Korir (2:08:03).
