The third former champion in the field is Lemi Berhanu (5/LEMI). He’s the 2016 champion, celebrating his 10th anniversary, and though he has a 2:04:33 PR, it’s from 2016 in Dubai. He’s still winning, though, including a 2:08:10 victory in Beijing last November and a 2:05:14 last May in Prague - in fact, he’s won both Prague and Beijing two years in a row, and both of those years (2024 and 2025) he also ran Mumbai in January, winning in 2024 and finishing 6th in 2025.

Put another way, Berhanu has won five of his last six marathons, and because he also won Mumbai in 2023, Boston is the only marathon he’s won once and not a second time.
