It was a perfect day for Kenaya Geoffrey Mutai at the running of the 115th Boston Marathon on Monday. The weather was cool, there was a tailwind, and Mutai used both to his advantage in running the fastest Boston Marathon time ever in 2:03:02.
Fellow countryman Moses Mosop, in his marathon debut, was almost quite as successful, finishing just 4 seconds back in 2:03:06. Ethiopian Gebre Gebremariam finished in third at 2:04:53.
American Ryan Hall ran the fastest marathon time ever by an American with a superb finishing time of 2:04:58. A time that would have won last year’s Boston Marathon.
