Today is Patriot's Day and that means it's also the Boston Marathon [1], and the winners are in!

Women's Race

Edna Kiplagat [2] of Kenya won the women's race! The 37-year-old mother of two finished with a time of 2:21:52. Second-place finisher Rose Chelimo of Bahrain, with a finishing time 2:22:51, was followed by American Jordan Hasay, who placed third in her debut appearance at Boston with a time of 2:23:00

Men's Race

Kenya's Geoffrey Kirui won the men's race, finishing in 2:09:37. American Olympian Galen Rupp, making his Boston debut, placed second, crossing the finish line with at time of 2:09:58. Third place went to Suguru Osako of Japan with a finishing time of 2:10:28.

Women's Wheel Chair Race

Manuela Schär of Switzerland won with a finishing time 1:28:17. This is a new course record [3], shaving off five minutes and 49 seconds from the previous record. This is also considered a world's best record, too. Finishing times at Boston don't qualify for world records because, as explained by CBS Boston, the straight-line course has a "possibility of a supportive tailwind," and the tailwind was likely in effect today.

Men's Wheel Chair Race

Marcel Hug, also of Switzerland, crossed the finish line in 1:18:03, beating the second-place finisher by only a second. Hug set a new course record and a new world best, too!

Congratulations to the podium finishers of the 121st Boston Marathon [4] and all the other amazing runners and racers on the course. We're impressed by anyone with the mettle to go 26.2 miles.
