John Korir, of Kenya, ultimately won the 2025 Boston Marathon with a time of 2:04:45. He appeared to lose his bib when he fell but quickly caught up with the leaders. In a video posted to social media, Korir appears to take a rough fall in a large crowd of runners before swiftly hoisting himself onto his feet.

Athletes took to the streets for the 129th Boston Marathon on Monday, April 21. Temperatures were in the low 50s at the start of the races under sunny skies with mild wind. It was a super fast course on Patriots’ Day as the course record went down in the women’s race.

For the fastest banana and fastest elf (really). But for others, it was just about getting through the race — and making sure you don't throw up.
