153. 2023 Boston Marathon Race Review and Race Recap

Welcome to a special episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, where we recap and review the 127th Boston Marathon or the 2023 Boston Marathon.    This year's race marked the 10th anniversary of the tragic bombing that shook the marathon world in 2013. In honor of the anniversary, a ceremony was held on Saturday, where the families of the victims and survivors came together to lay wreaths at the memorial sites near the finish line.   The Boston Marathon is the oldest annual marathon in the world and one of the most prestigious races, known for its challenging course, enthusiastic spectators, and rich history. The marathon route is a point-to-point course, starting in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, and finishing in Boston's Copley Square.   The Boston Marathon has seen many iconic moments in its history, including Kathrine Switzer becoming the first woman to officially run the race in 1967, and the tragedy of the bombing in 2013.    To commemorate the anniversary, the docuseries "American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing" was released. The three-part series details the tragic events of the 2013 marathon and the hunt for the Tsarnaev brothers.   The professional field for the 2023 Boston Marathon included many top runners, such as Eliud Kipchoge, the world record holder. With Kipchoge in the field, the men's race was one of the fastest in Boston Marathon history.    However, 2022 winner Evans Chebet surged ahead in the Newton hills to repeat as champion. Hellen Obiri, a late entry in the elite women's field and running only her second marathon, finished strong to win the women's race.   The men's and women's wheelchair races were also fiercely competitive, with Switzerland's Marcel Hug winning his sixth men's wheelchair crown and Manuela Schar of Switzerland finishing first in the women's wheelchair race.   Overall, the 2023 Boston Marathon was a thrilling event with many memorable moments. It showcased the resilience and determination of the running community and honored the victims and survivors of the 2013 tragedy.   #BostonMarathon #MarathonRunning #Resilience #Determination #AmericanManhunt #TsarnaevBrothers #ProfessionalField #EliudKipchoge #EvansChebet #HellenObiri #MarcelHug #ManuelaSchar     Join our facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/SpeedStriders Follow us on instagram @runningpodcast Check out our website: www.runningpodcast.us   Tags of topics:#Marathon #Running #MarathonTraining #marathonnutrition #speedstriders #runningpodcast #racerecap #racereview #runner #mentaltraining #beginnerrunner #attitudeofgratitude #BostonMarathon
