At the 129th Boston Marathon, over 30,000 runners participated, with John Korir of Kenya winning the race despite a tumbler early on. His victory time was 2:04:45, making him the first in his family to join his brother Wesley as a Boston champion. Many competitors displayed tenacity, crawling across the finish line, with medical staff on standby. A unique highlight was a reenactment of Paul Revere's ride, as colonial militia reenactors participated in the event to celebrate America's 250th birthday, adding a festive spirit to the occasion.
John Korir, who fell early in the race, demonstrated remarkable resilience by quickly regaining his position to win his second prestigious marathon title.
Some runners showed extraordinary determination, crawling past the finish line, demonstrating the intensity and grit required to complete such a challenging race.
