It’s marathon Monday in Boston. A quick viewers guide to follow. Background: I’ve been involved with this race since 1996 in many capacities, and used to report for World Athletics among other outlets. #bostonMarathon

With only one past champion in the pro field, the women are basically numbered by PR. There are nine women with sub-2:20 PRs, and defending champion Sharon Lokedi (101/SHARON) is the presumptive favorite. Remember that in Boston, former winners are on a first-name basis with the entire region; until you’ve won, the family name is the one that goes on your bib.
