It was a gorgeous day as the elite athletes of the Boston Marathon made their way up and down the hills of Hopkinton, Wellesley, and Brookline before entering the city for the grand finale. Here's how the day races went.
Men's Wheelchair
In a photo finish, Switzerland's Marcel Hug took home the prize with a time of 1:24:01 - his second straight win of the Boston Marathon. Mere seconds behind Hug were Ernst van Dyk (1:24:02) of South Africa and Australia's Kurt Fearnley (1:24:03), who finished in second and third place, respectively.
Women's Wheelchair
In an incredible feat, Tatyana McFadden took home her fourth straight win of the Boston Marathon. McFadden finished with a time of 1:42:16, more than a full minute over Manuela Schär of Switzerland, who finished with a time of 1:43:30. Wakako Tsuchida of Japan finished third with a time of 1:43:34.
