Chebet and Obiri captured their titles in thrilling fashion

Evans Chebet was staring at Gabriel Geay's heel on Heartbreak Hill a year ago, but dug deep to win his second consecutive Boston Marathon. Will he become the first runner in 16 years to make it three in a row? Hellen Obiri made her decisive move even later – during the final mile – and she'll defend her title against perhaps the strongest field the race has ever attracted.

Former track star Obiri has run three marathons in her life and won two of them, the first being last year's Boston Marathon. She did it in sensational style too, leaving the pack in her dust just as the Copley Square finish line materialized on the horizon. However, no fewer than 15 of her competitors take superior PBs to Boston, most notably Tadu Teshome and Hiwot Gebremariam.

Geay seized the lead with less than six miles to go last year, only for Chebet to somehow eat up the gap and split the tape a matter of seconds ahead of his rival. A repeat of the battle would be worth watching on its own, though Sisay Lemma would love to get in on the action on a course he's tended to struggle with.

And it's not just the elite runners you can expect the extraordinary from. So ludicrously high is the general standard now that more than 11,000 hopefuls who hit the qualifying mark still weren't fast enough to earn a bib.

The Patriots' Day tradition will see 35-year-old Kenyan Evans Chebet attempt to defend his back-to-back titles and become only the fifth man in the race's more than 125-year history to win in three straight years.

Hellen Obiri, who completed the other half of a Kenyan sweep, will defend her title from a women's field that race organizers described as "historically fast." Obiri will likely have to outlast a trio of women with personal bests under 2:18, including 2019 champion Worknesh Degefa.

Who will conquer Heartbreak Hill and whose hopes will be buried on the Cemetary Mile? Here's how to watch the 2024 Boston Marathon.

The third Monday in April is a special holiday in Boston, as each year that brings Patriots' Day. That means two things: an early Red Sox home game and the historic Boston marathon.

This year's edition of the marathon is set for Monday morning. The 26.2-mile race begins in Hopkinton, Mass., and takes runners through a long course that winds up on Boylston St. in Boston.

While plenty of people compete in the Boston Marathon for fun or personal reasons, some will be there with a legitimate chance to win. Those runners will come away with cuts of the prize fund, which is more than $1.19 million.

The men's and women's winners will each receive $150,000. The second-place finishers in those divisions earn $75,000, with third place getting $40,000.

Course records for the Boston Marathon were set last decade and have not yet been broken. The men's mark belongs to Kenya's Geoffrey Mutai (2 hours, 3 minutes and 2 seconds in 2011), while the women's record was set by Ethiopia's Bizunesh Deba (2:19:59 in 2014).

There are also typically some celebrities in the Boston Marathon field. And that will be the case again this year. Among those participating include former Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, former tennis player Nicolas Kiefer and Peloton instructor Matt Wilpers.
