Other names to note: Sara Hall (111/HALL) has a 2:20:32 PR, but that’s from 2020 and Hall is likely to be running for the masters title. Calli Hauger-Thackery (114/HAUGER-THACKERY) has a great resume but is also four or five months pregnant. Most of the women who represented the USA at the Paris Olympics are here: Sisson, Dakotah Popehn (125/POPEHN), and alternate Jess McClain (118/MCCLAIN). (Fiona O’Keeffe was entered, but withdrew Sunday.)

The men’s field is also almost numbered by PB, and led by two former champions; the only thing breaking up the ordering is that defending champion John Korir (1/JOHN) has a PR of 2:02:24, while Benson Kipruto (2/BENSON) has a slightly faster PR of 2:02:16. Ten men have sub-2:05 PRs, but unless conditions are perfect and someone decides to go for broke, Boston tends to be a race that rewards tactical savvy more than raw speed.
