Kenyan long-distance sensation Hellen Obiri is set to chase history at the 2025 Boston Marathon as she bids for her third consecutive victory in the women’s division.
Obiri, a two-time Olympic silver medalist and reigning marathon champion, will line up in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, on Monday, April 21, with her eyes firmly set on extending her dominance on the world marathon stage. A win this year would make her only the second woman in history to win three straight Boston titles, solidifying her place among long-distance running legends.
Obiri's competition will be fierce, with fellow Kenyan Sharon Lokedi and American marathoner Emma Bates among the top contenders looking to end her streak. The Boston Marathon remains one of the most prestigious races in the world, and this year’s edition continues its tradition of elite competition and a challenging course that demands both strategy and stamina.
Winners of the open division will take home a $150,000 prize, adding extra motivation for the top athletes vying for glory.
Obiri’s continued dominance on the international stage has made her a beacon of pride for Kenyan athletics and African long-distance running as a whole. With her unmatched pace and tactical awareness, she enters the race as the favorite — but in Boston, anything can happen.
The world will be watching as Obiri hits the streets of Boston, chasing history with every stride
