| John Korir won the 2025 Boston Marathon after destroying the field. |
John Korir ran a solo race to win the 2025 Boston Marathon title and emulate his brother Wesley Korir who won the race in 2012.
John Korir emulated his brother by becoming a Boston Marathon champion when he destroyed a strong field to win the 2025 edition of the race in the third fastest finish in the race’s history.
The Kenyan took off after the 30km and never looked back, leaving his rivals by a big gap, before he went on to win the race in a time of 2:04:45 and join his brother Wesley Korir, who won the race in 2012.
Korir had no equals when he took off and remained unchallenged for the second part of the race as he returned the Boston Marathon title to Kenya following Sissay Lemma’s win in 2024.
It was an East African affair as Tanzania's Alphonce Simbu finished second in 2:05:04 while CyBrian Kotut of Kenya completed the podium in 2:05:04.
